Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

I move amendment No. 9:

In page 11, line 11, after "guidelines" to insert the following:

"and have due regard to development plan guidelines".

The purpose of this amendment is to ensure development plan guidelines are of almost equal importance to the national spatial strategy and the regional planning guidelines. It has been proposed on foot of a suggestion made by a former Member of this House, Mr. Roger Garland. If the Minister of State can make a quick comment on it, I would appreciate it.
