I move amendment No. 38:

In page 35, line 10, to delete "colocation or".

This amendment relates to language introduced on Report Stage in the Dáil that is a little concerning. It relates to the phrase "colocation or" in subsection 2(f). The paragraph currently states "any proposed colocation or coexistence of the maritime usages referred to in paragraph (c)". I am a little lost in my thinking on this. I had it clearly in my head earlier. The concern relates to the word "or" between the word "colocation" and the word "coexistence" and the preference, from our side, is that the word "and" would be used rather than the word "or" to ensure maximum protection in terms of both scenarios.
