I move amendment No. 607:

In page 197, between lines 12 and 13, to insert the following: “84. Planning authorities and the Commission shall, in so far as practicable, perform their functions under this Act and exercise any discretion in a manner consistent with—

(a) the most recent approved climate action plan,

(b) the most recent approved national long term climate action strategy,

(c) the most recent approved national adaptation framework and approved sectoral adaptation plans,

(d) the furtherance of the national climate objective, and

(e) the objective of mitigating greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to the effects of climate change in the State.”.

I withdraw my amendment on the basis of the Minister's commitment.
