A few weeks or a month ago I was asking the question about the modular of the houses for the exemption at the back. I know it's in the media in the last week. They're saying that it could be inside the next week or two that the regulations will be done. Is it coming forward or you might be able to inform me or whatever. Thanks. Thank you Deputy. So we have sent the finalised regulations for screening now at the moment and once the screening is back we'll bring it before the Joint Oireachtas Committee. That's in relation to the domestic exemptions and the next set of them is the infrastructure exemptions which are being finalised as well at the moment. So look the screening usually takes a four to six week period and then into the Joint Oireachtas Committee.
