I wish to ask Mr. McLean about the noise mitigation berm. I wrote probably 18 months ago. I think there is one in the Netherlands that is made up of a series of undulating berms. They are really precise and mathematically worked out. As a result, they break up sound waves. They have proven to be extremely successful compared with one large berm or something like that, which blocks the view and also blocks sound waves but not as well as undulating berms do. Will Mr. McLean give his view on that and whether the berm he mentioned earlier is being looked at from that perspective? Was afforestation considered closer to the particular location in south Swords to the north of the field? Will land acquisition be required for that or does the DAA already own the land?
