Charlie McCreevy (Kildare North, Fianna Fail)

I admit to being unclear about this amendment which refers, I note with some trepidation, to any necessary modifications. I gather its purpose is to provide for formal third party consultation in accordance with the procedure under section 29 of the principal Act at the internal review stage of making decisions. This issue received considerable attention in the course of the preparation of the Bill. Unfortunately, it did not prove possible to achieve a satisfactory or workable legal mechanism but the issue is still under active consideration.

Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
