Industrial Development Bill 2008: Committee and Remaining Stages
11:00 am
Ivor Callely (Fianna Fail)
I greatly appreciate the Minister of State's reply in that regard. When the required changes go through the required processes, may I take it that should any costs be incurred by those involved in the process, they would not be asked to fund them from their existing budgets but that the requisite additional costs would be allocated to them? It has been brought to my attention that on previous occasions, people have been asked to comply without a budget allocation having been made on the matter because they were told there would be no costs. While I am quite satisfied by the Minister of State's remarks, I make this point because it has been brought to my attention in the past.
