As I have said, the abstainers would be a good name for an old band.

The correspondence again shows the well-founded fears of Fingal County Council. One of my constituents has reminded me of the approximately 100 acres - I am not sure what that would be in hectares - of commercial land bought from NAMA located in the Dublin enterprise zone, which is right at the famous roundabout, the M1-M2 link at the Ward. This is one of many commercial conflicts of interest.

I tabled an amendment, No. 60, which was about having a dedicated health action plan based on the World Health Organization evidence. Deputies Munster and Clare Daly tabled similar amendments. One of those should be in the Bill. I have read SI 549 of 2018 again. Where is the reference to a health action plan? There were all kinds of comments, which I may come back to, but where are the health studies and the close invigilation of health? It is all missing. I certainly do not see it in this statutory instrument.
