James Bannon (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 22:

In page 9, lines 23 and 24, to delete "of the proposed development".

This amendment is being taken with amendment No. 23, which proposes the deletion of the same words, and amendments Nos. 24 and 25, which propose the insertion of the words "the proposed development were". These technical amendments, particularly amendment No. 25, would give greater clarity to the Bill. Perhaps the Minister will also examine amendment No. 26, which I have tabled to correct a grammatical error. Amendment No. 27 proposes the deletion of the words "in relation to a proposed development to the Board" in lines 13 and 14 of page 10 of the Bill. Is the Minister considering a report in this regard?

Again, amendment No. 28 is a technical amendment, proposing on page 10, line 16, to delete "the views of the members" and substitute "their views". This would bring greater clarity to the Bill. It is probably just a matter of definitions and perhaps the Minister can take some or all of them on board.
