Michael Finneran (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Fianna Fail)

This is a technical amendment to update the collective citation of the Planning Acts to read "The Planning and Development Acts 2000 to 2009". Subsequent to the publication of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2009 on 3 June, the Harbours (Amendment) Act was enacted in July 2009. Section 21(3) of the Harbours (Amendment) Act 2009 amended the collective citation of the Planning Acts to read "The Planning and Development Acts 2000 to 2009". Accordingly section 1(2) of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2009 is being amended to reflect the subsequent enactment of the Harbours (Amendment) Act 2009.
