Protection of the Environment Bill 2003: Committee Stage.
2:30 pm
James Bannon (Fine Gael)
I move amendment No. 31:
In page 54, line 34, to delete "may" and substitute "shall".
The word "shall" is stronger than the word "may" and should be included in order that the phrase would read: ".the Agency shall consider and shall comply with such request.". Why move from a strong to a weaker word and back to the strong word again in this provision? The word "shall" should be inserted.
