That is a key point. I also met with the Minister of State at the Department of Health, Deputy Anne Rabbitte, this morning in respect of the disability sector regarding unintended consequences in relation to outdoor furniture. We will be reminding local authorities of their responsibilities in that regard, not to inhibit business but to be respectful of citizens who are more vulnerable in society, that disabled parking bays are not being taken up or replaced with outdoor furniture. We need to be careful in how we go about our business in that regard. My antenna is always up in the context of unintended consequences.
