Olwyn Enright (Laois-Offaly, Fine Gael)

The purpose of amendment No. 26 is to ensure, notwithstanding what Deputy O'Sullivan said about proper consultation with the people nominated to the groups, that regular consultation takes place with all the members of the community. I ask that the first proper consultation would start within three months and take place every six months after that, with information provided to residents in the vicinity and direct consultation taking place to ensure their opinions are considered and acted upon.
