Amendments Nos. 1079 to 1081, inclusive, seek to expand the conditions to which an events licence is subject. Amendments Nos. 1079 and 1083 look to include references to noise monitoring and air quality matters, but I consider that this is already covered by conditions relating to the protection of the environment. Amendment No. 1080 looks to include a reference to a mobility plan, active travel and public transport. At this stage, I do not consider that this is necessary as it would be covered by the condition relating to the provision of adequate means of public transport. However, I will reflect on the amendment about active travel and public transport. You have mentioned Bray, a Chathaoirligh. I refer to the example of last year or the year before, that is, the Bray air show and those types of things.
