It is a serious matter, and it has come up again. When it came up previously, fairly definite answers were given in response to former Deputy Kate O'Connell at that meeting. It could be a serious matter so we will conclude on it and deal with it next week one way or the other. I thank Deputy Catherine Murphy for that.

Moving on, at our meeting last week we also agreed to hold over No. 1578C. That is from Deputy Verona Murphy and is dated 15 November 2022. It concerns An Bord Pleanála. When the matter was raised last week we agreed to a proposal from Deputy Carthy to write to An Bord Pleanála and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to ask if a review is being undertaken in respect of planning permissions granted by An Bord Pleanála for telecommunications masts. Members will remember that at previous hearings here there was reference to a hundred of them together. Deputy Verona Murphy has indicated that she wants to address this.
