I accept the need to deal with Part V of the 2000 Act, to which a great deal of time and energy was devoted in the Seanad. It was a controversial part of the Bill and, if I recall correctly, significantly amended in both Houses. Local authority officials will confirm the view that it was becoming extremely difficult to operate it. From casual conversations with officials in Kildare County Council, I am aware that they were bewildered as to how they should proceed with it. They were not clear as to how it should be exercised. As a result, there was a backlog of developments, which otherwise might have gone ahead quickly. In the circumstances, it was prudent to examine the provision, a review of which formed part of the programme for Government. The review has taken place and the legislation is before us. That is as it should be.
