On the other point in respect of the section on An Bord Pleanála, the way it reads, it does not refer to sustainable or public transport infrastructure at all. It states: "a proposed road development". It can be seen how in some future scenario this gives An Bord Pleanála not just the power but creates a requirement to approve a proposed road development that contravenes a development plan or local area plan, if any one of those conditions is satisfied. That needs to be looked at.
