I have a question. In section 4, page 13, 31W relates to the appointment of the planning regulator. Is it the Minister's intention to follow a similar procedure with the Environmental Protection Agency, EPA, or An Bord Pleanála, for example, or has he designed that yet? Obviously, it is quite broad with regard to the Minister's power to appoint the regulator. Can the Minister give the committee some information on that?
