I have a few questions. Regarding the temporary weather radar station, I do not have any questions or issues with that. To me, that is very straightforward. I have a few questions about the small gas infrastructure. I can see the benefits of this for the utility and gas networks in Ireland in terms of the efficiencies but also for the planning authorities by not having all of these running through the planning system. The gas pressure regulating installations are somewhat visually obtrusive. They are not the kind of thing people would necessarily want right outside their home or business. I take the point Gas Networks Ireland has made about not going in to a property without discussion with the local authority, residents, and businesses, with regard to issues like aesthetics. Is there a commitment on the record from Gas Networks Ireland that if these regulations change, we are not going to have residents or business owners who find these problematic, finding them appearing right outside their premises or homes? Is there a distance restriction placed into the regulations on those?
