John Paul Phelan: I do not propose to accept amendments Nos. 29 to 32, inclusive, to section 14, which deals with maps.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Local Government Bill 2018: Committee Stage (5 Dec 2018)

John Paul Phelan: There is a broad list of topics in section 16(2) that might be covered in the implementation plan and it would be inappropriate to make the specification of all of them mandatory and remove discretion from the oversight committee as to what should be included.

In connection with amendment No. 40, this allows for an indexation value to be placed on the compensation. I believe I have dealt with many of the Deputy's questions.
