Amendment No. 1 to Government amendment No. 21, as tabled by Deputy Ó Broin, seeks to insert provisions into section 177K(1D) which would require the board, in the case of applications pending before the board upon such commencement, to make the following available: all information considered by the board in making a decision to grant or refuse leave to apply for substitute consent under section 177D; all information considered by a planning authority under section 177B or section 261A(3) at the notice stage giving rise to a direction to the applicant to make an application for substitute consent; and any information received from the local authority under section 177K (1D) (e). It would also provide that public consultation would not commence until the information referred to in this subsection is available online and that the consultation period provided for the public and prescribed bodies would not be less than eight weeks. I cannot accept this amendment. Tá an t-am istigh.
