Yes, these amendments are very straightforward and I am probably more interested in hearing the Minister's response.

Amendment No. 419 relates to section 49 of the Bill under the heading "obligation to prepare objectives for management of areas, uses and structures." If we look down to section 49(2)(g), it talks about "preserving a specific public right of way, including a public right of way which gives access to any seashore, mountain, lakeshore, riverbank". I want to insert “, monument” there because it is materially relevant and I hope the Minister will consider it.

The second amendment which the Cathaoirleach has rightfully asked me to discuss is amendment No. 429 to section 50, which deals with "settlement-specific objectives". Section 50(3)(b) provides for "sustainable placemaking objectives relevant to the protection, renewal and growth of the settlement concerned, having regard to the physical, socioeconomic, cultural", and again the amendment looks to insert “, linguistic” here before "and environmental context of the settlement". They are unfortunate omissions. There is no reason why the Minister should not accept these amendments and I am interested to hear his response.
