Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

I am grateful to Deputy Cuffe for giving me the opportunity to repeat the point I made several times on Committee Stage that I intend that regulations will cover. That is exactly the arrangement that exists at present. I am pleased to make that point clear. In reference to the point made by Deputy Murphy the best way to do that is by different colours being required by regulation. I am surprised at Deputy Cuffe mentioning Scottish law in this area because he knows that Scottish law would not necessarily be a good planning precedent for this country. It would mean reducing the extensive third-party rights of objection that exist here.
