Amendments Nos. 142 and 143 by Deputies Cian O’Callaghan, Ó Broin, Gould, Ó Snodaigh, Boyd Barrett, Bríd Smith and Gino Kenny, respectively, seek to insert reference to air quality management. Amendment No. 153 tabled by Deputy Matthews seeks to insert reference to ecological status of water bodies, both respectively with regards to the making of the national planning framework. I cannot accept these proposed amendments as in the case of ecological status of water bodies, this is already covered by the water framework directive, which already informs the national planning framework. In the case of air quality management, this is a separate code of compliance covered by other legislation.
