I thank Mr. Gleeson for that. It is small infrastructure but it is not necessarily the stuff people want right on their doorstep and they can have concerns around it.

On the gas vent stacks and the fact that they will not be fitted within a 5 m proximity to residential buildings, 5 m is not a huge distance. Certainly, plenty of householders would not be terribly happy with something like that going 6 m outside their front door or front window. How is the 5 m limit arrived at? Will the Minister of State or the Department answer on that point? Where did the 5 m limit come from and why is it set at just 5 m?
