May I comment on that briefly? I do not want to prolong the debate. Having dealt with many files, I believe the information is available. It is certainly available in my local authority area in Waterford. I expect it is the exact same across the whole country. One can look at the information on the website. All the files are scanned and readily available to the public. Where there is an appeal to An Bord Pleanála, there is a specific reference to the planning file within the relevant local authority. All the information is readily available for anybody to view. Therefore, I do not see the necessity of the amendments of the Senator, especially amendment No. 29.
