I thank Mr. Cronin for his response. Deputy O'Callaghan raised a good point. When we carry out environmental impact assessments on land, we check certain things. There are clear guidelines on what is to be contained in an environmental impact assessment. Is there something we should also consider including in the marine space to stipulate what we want measured and the degree to which we want it measured as part of the environmental impact assessment carried out by the applicant?
