Amendment No. 16 puts an onus on the Minister for Transport, before approving the transport strategy, to consider any report received from the regional authorities and any recommendation received from the joint committee concerning the draft transport strategy. I consider that these amendments, together with the amendments made earlier, will ensure that there is a full and appropriate consultation on the draft DTA transport strategy that will be provided for the Oireachtas, the planning authorities and the various institutions involved. On that basis, I ask that the other amendment be withdrawn.
