While somebody is looking for that, there are now increasing demands on An Coimisiún Pleanála arising from the renewable energy directive III as well as other matters. In terms of additional funding for the staff of An Coimisiún Pleanála, there have been significant sanctions and the commission faces challenges in getting those staff. We are hearing from wind energy providers of an additional layer of concern that the planning resourcing requirements arising from the renewable energy directive III is going to be another call. Has that been factored into the Minister's discussions with his officials and An Coimisiún Pleanála about future resourcing requirements?
