Mary Hanafin (Dún Laoghaire, Fianna Fail)

In response to the comments made earlier, these amendments are unnecessary because section 21(2) already provides that the definition of "stakeholder" may include any person that either the Minister or the agency considers relevant. This covers adequately the Deputy's proposed amendment. Amendment No. 77 is not appropriate.

The residents of the Grangegorman neighbourhood will nominate their representative to the consultative group. The appointment will be made by the agency responsible for constituting the consultative group. They will nominate and the agency will appoint.
