I attended the showcase on a few occasions. I think I met Mr. Hynes and Ms Blanchfield there. It was very impressive and uplifting to see the work going on, and the enthusiasm and creativity that happens there and is on show. I understand this regulation came into effect in November 2023 and will be fully applied sometime in December 2025, as has been set down. In the meantime, it has been said that a number of areas have actually gained the status in Ireland. Could the witnesses tell us more about how they did that and how that is going? Whoever wants to come in can answer that.
