I want to make a point and then I will ask a question about the Minister's amendment No. 50. As to who decides, it is the Minister who decides by way of regulation, as is often the case in these matters. In lots of planning legislation, including in this Bill, we have words like "exceptional" or "significant" and the purpose of those are then set out in regulations. I will not labour that point.

I did not catch the explanation given by the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, of amendment No. 50, which I presume is just technical and typographical in nature. Will the Minister just confirm the intention of the amendment?
