I move amendment No. 2:

In page 8, between lines 2 and 3, to insert the following:

“Report 9.(1) Within 3 months of the passing of this Act, the Minister shall report to Dáil Éireann on—
(a) the projects at Shannonbridge and Tarbert generating stations (or at any alternative appropriate sites), and

(b) the operation of the alternative assessments for these projects by the Environmental Protection Agency.
(2) The Minister shall further report on Government proposals to delete the relevant sections of this Act once these projects have been completed.”.

It is self-explanatory and calls for, within three months of the passing of the Act, the Minister to report to the Dáil on substantial issues. I look forward to the Minister’s response.
