European Court Rulings (27 May 2010)

Phil Hogan: I am trying to be helpful. Perhaps we can deal with the matter under the planning and development Bill which is going through Committee Stage. Perhaps at that stage the Minister of State could supply us with the information on what he has in mind. We could discuss the scope of the EIA to which the Minister of State referred during the course of the Committee Stage debate.
