In those conversations, was there any consideration or discussion around the Aarhus Convention and the participation rights of third parties? Everything the Minister has said to date, which is completely reasonable, has been around the concern of the Attorney General on first party rights. Surely if we raised third party rights, as did others, eight months ago, and the Minister has had constant engagement with the Attorney General on this, surely the issue of third party, Aarhus and public participation rights came up in those discussions? They are not in any way reflected in the Bill itself.
