Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

On the first question, I am advised by the Minister for Social Protection that the advisory group on social welfare is examining the question raised by Deputy Healy-Rae. It will report later in the year with a number of recommendations covering a range of issues in the social welfare area, including this matter. The Deputy's remarks about An Bord Pleanála are not relevant in the context of pending legislation.
