Deputy Niamh Smyth raised a number of issues. On the documents, they are effectively organic and they will be continuously updated taking into account some of the changes mentioned by the Deputy, including the EU Green New Deal and Covid-19. I welcome all the very extensive provisions delineated in the programme for Government. It is really comprehensive around biodiversity in particular and heritage. Deputy Smyth mentioned built and archaeological heritage as well.

Deputy Niall Collins mentioned De Valera's Cottage in Limerick. There are departmental schemes to which the committee could make an application. I am not sure if it has already done so. I am not familiar with the history of the particular place mentioned but my officials could take a look at it.
