Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008: Committee Stage
11:00 am
Michael Finneran (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fianna Fail)
This amendment is required to provide explicitly that a Minister has the power to revoke or amend a general policy direction issued under this section. This provision would be particularly important where policy is changed after the appointment of a new Minister. A similar provision exists in planning legislation, in section 29(3) of the Planning and Development Act 2000.
