Noel Ahern (Dublin North West, Fianna Fail)

Amendment No. 8 is one of a series of three Government amendments which oblige the authority to consider the views of the people and organisations with which it consults when preparing its transport strategy at section 12, its integrated implementation plan at section 13 and its strategic traffic management plan at section 64. The amendments arise from amendments tabled by Senator Paschal Donohoe on Committee Stage and meet the intent of the Senator's proposals. Therefore, I request that Senators withdraw amendment No. 9.
