I move amendment No. 70:

In page 18, line 20, after “information” to insert the following:“but only where such other relevant information has been part of the published set of information made available with the original application, or where received subsequent to the application where it has been the subject of a further published public notification in respect of the application, and made reasonably available to the public to comment upon without the public having to incur any fee for any further observation being made”.

In my amendments Nos. 70, 73, and 75, I am trying to increase the clarity and the provision of greater level of information. This is the same point I have been making in a series of earlier amendments. In amendment No. 76, the key point refers to the fee to be paid by the applicant to An Bord Pleanála in respect of his or her application permission of €10,000 to be returned. Again, this is a similar concern that I raised on previous amendments.
