On foot of this discussion, I need to get absolute clarity on that piece. The enforcement notice is very clear. That is the legal enforcement that is being taken about what works need to be done to restore or remediate a site. That is covered and we have dealt with that. Regarding how that interacts with section 130(8), which relates to the direction by the commission to take remedial measures, I do not want it to be read in any way, shape or form that there is some type of exception here outside an enforcement notice. With the Cathaoirleach's permission, I will get some clarification on this item because that is not the intention of it and is probably not the meaning of it but from the discussions we have had here, I can see how people might interpret that as and we need to get that piece cleared up.
