While I know subparagraphs (iii) and (iv) in section 99 are not intended to deal with the kind of vexatious, extortionate misuse of the planning process that other amendments will deal with, in the cases that were in RTÉ's "Prime Time" programme, there would be nothing to stop people who want to use the planning process and the cover of bogus environmental NGOs from just setting up an organisation and having family members to make up the ten. That does not give any protection. I still want to put on record that I am concerned there may be circumstances where it could lead to exclusion. I know the Minister is not supporting it but I would ask him to reconsider that, at least in some discussions with his officials, before Report Stage.
