Amendments Nos. 16 and 17 propose to exempt directional signage and advertisements relating to the promotion of visitor centres from the scope of this Bill. I appreciate the genuine questions that have been asked by Deputy Sherlock and others about the factual situation. As there is a great deal of misinformation out there, I want to make it clear that directional signs to visitor centres are unaffected by any of the provisions of this Bill and therefore no exemption is required. I have seen some vested interests putting up directional signs and saying they will not be allowed. That is another mistruth from industry. Directional signs for Tullamore Dew or whatever-----
