That is fine.

Amendment No. 466 relates to material alterations. This is under subsection 53(12). A report is to be produced listing all persons who have made submissions and providing a summary of the recommendations and submissions made by the Minister and the recommendations and submissions of the Office of the Planning Regulator. I am suggesting that there should also be a summary of the submissions made by the public representatives. This relates to material alterations as well. Again, is that a public document? I know the Minister of State will say that this comes under paragraph (III), which refers to "submissions ... by any other persons", but, again, I would suggest a separate one for public representatives. It is really important for the public to know what way the people they have voted for are making submissions on material alterations.
