Maurice Cummins (Fine Gael)

As the Minister stated, this House addressed that entire area at length.

Amendment No. 43 states the Minister shall cause a copy of guidelines to be issued. When will these guidelines become available? Amendment No. 41 allows for the inclusion of persons representing local community interests. That was also discussed at length and we made the case that public representatives represent local community interests. It is needless to pursue that point. I am delighted the Minister dealt with the matter raised in amendment No. 49 with regard to statements at public fora as he stated he would do so. I agree with many of the amendments made and do not see the point in harping on about issues we already raised on Committee Stage.
