Seán Kyne (Galway West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Section 18A has its own provisions for environmental assessment, public consultation and dissemination of information to the public, the Oireachtas and Ministers. Any proposals to dedesignate would be subject to consultation with the public and Ministers. The matter is catered for, therefore, in the sections of the Bill as initiated. I do not believe there is an issue because the consultation is already allowed for and required.
