I think it was raised by Wind Energy Ireland that you have to have obtained planning permission and you lose your MAC if you lose your planning permission. There may be a situation in which the loss of planning permission was beyond its control, such as a judicial review. It raised that point with us. It needs to be considered. In fact, I do not know if it was addressed in the legislation recently. Does it still stand that if you are not successful in planning, you lose your MAC?
