I thank Senator Seery Kearney. She has raised an interesting point. If the site has a requirement for an environmental impact assessment, EIA, it might trigger some kind of archaeological or cultural assessment. If a site does not have such a requirement, what triggers the EIA? It may not be there. We may have sites which depend on the guy with the JCB identifying that they are of importance. How will they be able to do so? I am sure there are many sites where items have been missed. Having made that comment and having thanked Senator Seery Kearney, I call Deputy O’Donoghue.
