Pat Casey (Wicklow, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Based on the information the Minister of State has given us, I do not believe we have any option but to withdraw amendment No. 8. I take his point on section 14(5). On consultation, the emphasis and thrust of this is that the policies for an abatement scheme should be included in all the plans that will be there. Inadvertently, perhaps there is some consultation in that process. On that basis, I withdraw amendment No. 8.
