I might move on to the next amendment. This amendment was also drafted by my colleague Deputy Ó Snodaigh. The 2009 expert group report contained a recommendation that historic landscapes should be covered by the Historic Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2023. As the Minister of State will know, it was not included in that Act. Deputy Ó Snodaigh and others tried to insert it in that legislation by way of amendment and failed. We are now coming back and asking the Minister of State to reconsider the exclusion of historic landscapes and to consider its insertion again here in subsection (m).
