Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006: Committee Stage.
3:00 pm
Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)
I am grateful to the Senator. If one examines the 1976 Act, one will find a reference in the same section to the Minister having certain rights to overrule. That has since been dropped. The Senator is right that it is important that we protect the board's right to make decisions. If he raises the matter on Report Stage, I will address any queries he has.
