There is merit in this so I will look at it, but I will not accept the amendment now.

Amendment No. 1081 seeks to include a new condition regarding the payment of a bond to ensure that the site is restored or repaired to its condition before the event or preparations for the event took place. Again, having examined the conditions as set out in this section, I do not consider that this is necessary because an applicant for an events licence will have to comply with any conditions regarding the protection of the environment in which the event is to be held, as well as paying a financial contribution to the local authority towards the cost of measures taken by the local authority in connection with the event.

That deals with the amendments you have tabled, a Chathaoirligh. I will look at the active travel and public transport elements of amendment No. 1080.
