Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (19 Oct 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: I will just check that. For the sake of clarity, and because after two hours and 44 minutes my eyes are quite twisted, is the Minister of State saying that the import of amendment No. 117 to section 31 is, that, under all circumstances, an SEA and an AA will be required for the initial policy statement?
