Okay. In one sense it should be a continuation of use, but that is just being pedantic. Going back to what Senator Fitzpatrick said on the areas, the CSO has small area maps. One could easily use those small area maps to say that an area is exempt or not exempt. What a person has to do is to try to arrange a pre-planning meeting with very busy planning consultants in a local authority to get them to say they do not have to apply. There are areas. Where is the line drawn? Let us say a town has a population of 10,000, a municipal district that borders a rural town and village, and the property is in the municipal district. The person does not know where his or her area is and cannot apply to Bord Fáilte to declare unless he or she has all the planning conditions. If we are saying that May is the deadline, how will this information be put out? A planning application will take five weeks and if there is an appeal to An Coimisiún Pleanála, it is another four weeks. It needs to be done and dusted by the start of the year to be quite clear, so why can we not just use small area maps? This question is for Bord Fáilte.
