(6) Where the Government has completed a review under section 22, the draft of the revised or new National Planning Framework as the case may be, shall be laid before each House of the Oireachtas, and the revised or new National Planning Framework shall not be made until a resolution approving the draft laid is passed by each such House, following a debate of no less than 3 hours in each such House.

(7) Prior to any debate under subsection (6), the Minister shall engage with the relevant Joint Oireachtas Committee to examine and discuss the proposed draft of the revised or new National Planning Framework as the case may be, and the Committee shall hear from other witnesses in respect of the proposed draft, and make recommendations in respect of the draft accordingly.

(8) Where after the Government has completed a review under section 22 and a draft of a revised or new National Planning Framework has been approved under subsection (5) of section 22, the Government shall, as soon as practicable, publish the revised or new National Planning Framework, as the case may be.
