Mr. James Spillane:

Yes, and all those applications have all been declined by An Bord Pleanála as requiring planning permission. As the industry sees it, there is no route in respect of the sub-threshold. Then there is the hydrological link-in. For example, if the Deputy owned perhaps 26 ha and I had the same size holding, and these were linked and adjacent by a river, then that is regarded as 52 ha. Once a parcel of land is over 50 ha, then there is a need for relief for consent, substitute consent, planning permission and a licence from the EPA.
