It is also about working to establish rights of way. I am confused because the Minister of State seems to suggest that the ground on which he is not willing to accept the amendment is that the function is that of another agency, namely Tailte Éireann. The Land Registry, in Tailte Éireann, is just where you register. It holds the register. The amendment proposes that, in working to establish rights of way, a local authority would have to use the procedures elsewhere in the legislation that the Minister of State just outlined. The amendment is partly to legislatively encourage local authorities to use the powers he has outlined more.

On the matter of vindication, which is not a function of Tailte Éireann, where does it rest if there are issues or challenges with rights of way?
