I thank the Minister of State. I appreciate that. It sounds quite positive. The reason I ask that the Minister set it out regulation is so that we have it standardised across the local authorities.

I will move on. My grouping of amendments is amendments Nos. 459 and 460. I ask the Minister of State to give me a moment to get my bearings. Amendment No. 459 relates to section 53 on page 121, between lines 2 and 3. It is just after subsection (4) and it relates to the making of a development plan.

This relates to a notice detailing protected structures. Amendment No. 459 would insert "the planning authority shall erect a site notice detailing the proposed protected structures". This would follow paragraph (4)(b)(v), which states, "that, if the proposed addition or deletion was recommended by the Minister", etc. It is just to erect a site notice to inform people. I think there are parts missing here in bringing the public into the addition or deletion of a protected structure to or from the register of protected structures, RPS.

Amendment No. 460 is related. I think all these amendments are related. Amendment No. 460 relates to the report on the reasons for an addition or a deletion. I ask the Minister of State to read out the response he has to amendments Nos. 459, 460-----
