Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)

My amendment is in response to a proposal made by Senator Bannon. I did not accept his amendment on Committee Stage on the basis that the functions in question are, rightly, a matter for the board. It would not be appropriate, therefore, to include a reference to both the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government and the board. However, on further consideration, I have taken on board the Senator's point about the word "Heritage". I have, therefore, inserted the word, as he suggested on Committee Stage.
