I move amendment No. 102:

In page 30, to delete lines 32 to 41 and, in page 31, to delete line 1 and substitute the following:

"(2) Without prejudice to section 176B, where an application was made under section 176A and no screening determination for environmental impact assessment (within the meaning of section 176A(1)) has been issued by a planning authority within the appropriate period of time provided for by section 176B(2), then—

(a) the person who made the application may—(i) within the period of 3 weeks after the latest date by which that determination was due to be issued under section 176B(2), and

(ii) on payment to the Board of the appropriate fee, refer the application in question to the Board (which act is in this section referred to as an ‘application referral’) for determination, and(b) the authority concerned shall repay to the applicant the fee paid to the authority in accordance with section 176A(3).".
