The planning authority, either the local authority or An Bord Pleanála, in the case of an appeal, is required to consider the adequacy of an EIS. Where it decides that an EIS is inadequate, it must ensure it is supplemented by further information. We are all aware of cases where this has happened. In addition, under Article 14.2(a) of the 1994 EPA licensing regulations, the EPA is required to consider the adequacy of an EIS in so far as environmental aspects of the activity are concerned. Where the agency considers an EIS to be inadequate, it can, like the planning authority and An Bord Pleanála, require further information. The adequacy of an EIS in relation to an IPPC licensable activity is, therefore, open to scrutiny by the local authority, An Bord Pleanála and the EPA as well as by the public as part of the decision making process. On that basis, I do not accept the amendment.
