Peter Burke (Longford-Westmeath, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

On the triggering of a public participation statement, the position on DMAPs is set out clearly in page 197 of the national marine planning framework. On amendments to MSPs and designated marine area plans, DMAPs, the detail is in section 28 of the Bill. I said the article is about giving effect. That is my clear advice regarding public participation and the associated robust participation. I have also been very clear that the Oireachtas, as a body, can get involved in the process in respect of how it interprets or gives advice. The document has to be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas.

If there are further points that I need to clarify, I will have no issue with doing so.
