Eoin Ó Broin: With respect to the NPF and issues of speed and delay, it might be helpful for the Minister of State to give the committee an update on the announcement made earlier today of the decision of the Government to defer the publication of the revised national planning framework, which is obviously relevant to this section. It would be helpful to put that information in the public domain regarding...

Eoin Ó Broin: Let us deal with these amendments first and we can deal with the other amendment afterwards. I am happy to see the language, as it was originally set out in the Bill, changed.
