I will withdraw the amendments and hopefully bring them back on Report Stage. Hopefully the Minister of State can bring biodiversity into both national planning statements. This is about what is missing. There is no biodiversity in this, the word is not used at all in the section on urban development zones either. It should be included or referenced back to the national biodiversity action plan. There should be the reference there in both those sections.
