There was unanimity on Committee Stage that it is essential that the latest body of work that is carried out in the area of airport noise is captured in some way in this legislation that we are now passing in 2019. It would be scandalous if this legislation passed without incorporating that body of knowledge from the WHO in some way. We all talked about it on Committee Stage, not necessarily in the context of the balanced approach, but there needs to be reference in some way within the legislation to the competent authority taking on-board noise issues at the airport.

The Minister indicated that he will have an amendment later on that is somehow going to deal with health issues. Can he indicate the amendment to which he was referring?
