With respect to the cumulative impact of amendments Nos. 13, 18 and 22, there is the removal of artistic and traditional interest for the definition of "architectural heritage". There is then the insertion of cultural interest, including artistic, literary and traditional interest and the removal of artistic, historical and traditional, and their substitution with "historic". I am unclear as to the why that cluster of changes is there. The concern is that it might narrow the scope of some of the definitions, in particular in terms of the architectural heritage section, which is related to amendment No. 13. The focus on literary interest, as opposed to literary and linguistic, also came up in the Seanad, to include language as well as formal literary works. Will the Minister of State give us more clarity on why those three sets of amendments have been introduced? My amendment No. 15 is pretty straightforward and, therefore, I am interested in his response. I will speak to amendments Nos. 191 and 229 after he contributes.
