Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

This amends the reference in the Seventh Schedule to electricity transmission lines to exclude any development to be considered under the section 182A consent process. This is necessary to ensure it is clear which consent procedure will apply to specific types of development and will prevent a perception of the use of two different consent processes for such lines. I would like consistency and clarity between all systems and it is a welcome amendment. I would be grateful if the House would support it.
