Brian Cowen (Laois-Offaly, Fianna Fail)

I understand the first issue is a policy framework decision at EU level, not a directive. I advise the Deputy to table a parliamentary question to the line Minister seeking detailed information on what is the policy position on it.

I will have to check about the second matter. I am not aware of what amending planning legislation the Deputy referred to. I will have to check that for her.
