No. The amendment, from my perspective, is around us requiring a gas storage facility, which has both onshore and offshore components. With regard to those two systems, offshore planning is different from onshore planning, and by the very nature of such a storage facility, it might be both so we have to make sure that if there was a future application for such a facility, there would not be an incongruity. It was not in any way drafted with a view for any other planning application in mind. We are not going to draft legislation for the specifics of any other application. That is a matter for An Bord Pleanála and the courts to decide, not Government. The amendment was not related to that at all.
