I will be brief. These amendments bring us to Chapter 3, "Amenities". Amendment No. 930 seeks to expand the definition of "amenities" in section 242(1) by including a reference to "its cultural importance to the community or to the nation". Amendment No. 930 seeks to amend section 242(2), which sets out the reasons for the Minister to declare land to be an amenity, by including a reference to "its cultural importance to the community or to the nation". The two amendments have been submitted by my colleague, Deputy Ó Snodaigh.
