To respond first to Deputy O'Callaghan in regard to the issue of archaeological reserves and archaeological landscapes, the register can include ritual or ceremonial sites, sites where an historical event took place or sites with connections to legends or myths. Some of those surrounding areas could be quite large. They could be quite large sites in their own right. We are of the view that it is more than adequate to protect those sites and the areas surrounding them. That is what we are trying to achieve with this. I hope that is of some assurance. What was the Deputy's other question?
