The proposed insertions are no more nebulous than what is currently provided for in sections 242(1)(a) or 242(1)(b), both of which are incredibly subjective in terms of how they would be determined. Ultimately, these things can be dealt with by way of regulation. While the Minister of State is not accepting the amendments, I assure him that the intention behind them is serious in terms of locations that have cultural importance for the community or the nation. Therefore, I urge the Minister of State's officials to give the matter some thought between now and Report Stage. I suspect Deputy Ó Snodaigh will want to return to them at that point.
