I move amendment No. 34:

In page 24, line 5, to delete “have regard to” and substitute “must comply with”.

Before I withdraw the amendment, I ask the Minister of State to consider, with his officials, the point I made about terrestrial planning legislation where two different formulas are used in certain circumstances. As my colleagues and I will probably table this amendment again on Report Stage, I do not want to waste people's time by having the same conversation. I would appreciate if the Minister of State could explain the rationale for this formulation, as opposed to the other formulations, being used in this instance. I ask him to undertake to consider the matter, at least. I will withdraw the amendment but it may be resubmitted.
