Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

One is the Strategic National Infrastructure Bill the original intention of which was to establish a national infrastructure board while the other is the National Roads Infrastructure Bill. Will there be separate legislation for the planning of roads infrastructure and for the planning of other infrastructure? Are the comments of the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government at the weekend right on the establishment of a separate section of An Bord Pleanála? Will we see a planning and development Bill to deal with infrastructure?
