The committee will make recommendations in respect of the draft Bill. Perhaps Mr. Kelly would like to send follow-up correspondence to the committee to assist us to form those recommendations. He could tell us how he would like that to be framed. I am being parochial with the particular point about Waterford but the applicability of that example extends to other cities. How do we capture the areas that need to be captured in a MASP area, while not going so wide as to negate the importance of what a MASP is?
