The policy decision of the previous Government was set aside to permit us to move forward with the FSRU. Let us be clear about that. I said that in the Dáil in answers to questions from Deputies and was very open about it. The other aspect of that is my predecessor took a position on an existing planning application relating to fracked gas. The legal advice provided, which I have since seen on two occasions, stated that it was impossible to draw a distinction between fracked or otherwise, so that policy position has been set aside.
