I would like clarification on something the Minister said about giving power to the Minister of the day, I assume, to increase the height of masts. I know of two places in Kerry where this applies. In Kilgarvan, a mast is adjacent to the school, and in Inch, there is one adjacent to a private house. It is only feet away from the house and the people have objected to it. Is this to allow masts to go higher without giving people a proper chance to raise concerns about them? This is what happened in both those places and I am very concerned about it.

I ask the Minister to again clarify the issue of reclaimed land, because there are two types of reclaimed land, as I understand it. One relates to where farmers reclaim land, drain it and improve it, of which I have done a great deal myself, but there is also land that has been reclaimed from the sea. Will the Minister differentiate between what he is talking about?
