Mr. Niall Ó Donnchú:

It is an absolute game-changer. Colleagues will have referenced this in pretty much every response we have given. Walking nature across a nature protection process and across a full spectrum of relevant legislation and actions by State agencies and so forth is hugely important. Having a statutory imperative is massive for us in our co-ordination job on the national biodiversity action plan, even in terms of the huge engagement in drafting that plan, in the first instance, both within Government across those agencies and outside it, with the stakeholder community and so forth. It is an absolute game-changer for us. That read-across is just hugely important.
