Nobody disputes that. Nobody on the committee disagrees with that. The specific challenge for Wind Energy Ireland is, however, that we have bitter experience of terrestrial planning, for example, strategic housing developments, which we were told would allow us to expedite planning decisions and deliver a greater number of much-needed homes. The concern many of us had at the time was not that we wanted to expedite planning and deliver a greater number of much-needed homes but that, if the process is designed badly, it results in considerable litigation which delays everything, including the targets. Given that developers rightly want certainty, and I fully support that, because if the system is clear and certain for everybody, we are all better off, is Mr. Goodwin or his affiliate members in any way worried that any absence of certainty because of the lag with designation on the eastern seaboard, for example, has any potential risks of delays that would make it even more difficult to reach those targets which we all want to meet?
