Trevor Sargent (Dublin North, Green Party)

They are opposed to the Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill. It has come from the Seanad. Will the Government withdraw it in response to the wishes of members of the Minister's party? It did not need it to make a bags of the peat stations, the port tunnel, the Ringsend treatment plant or the National Aquatic Centre, so God help what the Government will do now once the legislation is available to it. Will the Government consider withdrawing the Bill in a democratic fashion?
