I welcome the amendment arising from Deputy O'Donovan's suggestions. It is very relevant to the situation regarding impediments to road developments. However, the Minister is aware of the fact that there is an impasse and a long, drawn-out saga concerning the further development of the Tralee to Dingle road. An Taisce is the body putting in the objections. Would this amendment resolve situations like that one so that in future, we will never be faced with a blockage to a major development? It is an unnecessary hold up and will cost a lot of money. It will be the taxpayer paying for it as An Taisce is a statutory body. Is it too late for this Bill to have an impact there?
