I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Heydon, for coming in. I have a few short questions. I have worked on cross-country pipelines. One does a way leaves, roadway or whatever one wants for different types of work and construction. If one is doing a way leave one could be going through 20 to 100 different farms. It could be 100 m wide or 50 m wide, depending on the job one is doing. The ground has to be what we call "reinstated" as one would be going through the farmer's land. Who accounts for that fertiliser? Is it put on to the nitrates of the farmer on each individual system or how does it work?
