General Scheme of the Marine Protected Areas Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Niall Goodwin:
Yes, absolutely. It is something that we have been calling for for quite a while. The NPWS and An Bord Pleanála in particular, along with other bodies that I will not list now, need to be better funded. If anything could be done in that regard, it would be very welcome from an industry perspective.
