I just want to raise one issue on that. It is relevant to amendment No. 956. Amendment No. 979 seeks to address two points, one of which I referred to when discussing a previous amendment. I referred to the notification of the public.

The second mistake I am trying to correct concerns the ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union on 15 March 2018 on North East Pylon Pressure Campaign in case C470/16. In the ruling, the court took issue with the lack of safeguarding in terms of cost exposure in Irish legislation. Paragraph 65 refers to it specifically. The ruling was made more than six years ago but the matter has not been dealt with in the legislation. Why not if it is six years outstanding? Will the Minister of State accept my amendment, which seeks to deal with this?
