Dara Murphy (Cork North Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I refer to amendments Nos. 49aand 49b. The Bill sets out very clearly that there must be public consultation. The Minister has considered amendment No. 65a. The policy approach being taken is that under section 99 the authority will carry out public consultation in that area. If the Deputy's points come to bear at that stage, they can then be raised. It will also examine whether the required administrative or legislative reforms to the existing codes should retain their restrictions or, as the case may be, remove them.
