Mr. David Walsh:

I thank Chairman for the opportunity to elaborate on some elements of the Bill as currently drafted. In order to deal with this element in respect of fast-track planning and other elements, we thought it might be helpful to provide some evidence and a walk through of the timelines and process relating to what is proposed in the general scheme of the Bill. We have circulated a short presentation to members. Mr. Cussen will go through the issues. The experts are here with me, so there is no point in me hogging the limelight.
