James Bannon (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 24:

In page 39, lines 43 and 44, to delete "without imposing excessive costs".

As stated earlier, cost should not be a factor when we are considering the environment. The section will stand on its own without the above words. It is self-explanatory. The meaning of "excessive costs" is not fully explained and perhaps a figure should have been included.
