The reason I picked the 22 sites was that when I listed the counties on Committee Stage the Minister told me I was being far too broad. Now he is using the argument that this is too defined. In the interests of trying to progress the issue, and in light of the comments the Minister has made, I am prepared to withdraw the amendment. We will hear what the Minister has to say in the new year. This can be revisited by whoever our successors are this time next year.
