James Bannon (Fine Gael)

I move amendment No. 1:

In page 6, between lines 1 and 2, to insert the following new definition:

"'the Agency' means the Environmental Protection Agency as established by the Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992;".

This amendment would bring greater clarity to the Bill. There are many bodies involved in the planning process and citizens want clarity when they go through the legislation. Perhaps the Minister will consider accepting the amendment.
