Yes, absolutely. Legislation will be changed as required. Again, I compliment the Minister, Darragh O'Brien, and others on the work they have been doing in this regard. A special task force committee has been set up to deal with this matter, and over the coming months the necessary changes will be put in place to allow for us to protect more our corridor while also not forgetting the very important person, the man or woman who owns the land. If there will be a greater setback, they have to be compensated for that and they will have to be taken care of.
