I move amendment No. 9:

In page 4, between lines 6 and 7, to insert the following: “(iii) shall take active steps to support equality of access to participation in public consultation, in relation to a proposed development plan, with particular regard to obligations under the Public Duty on Equality and Human Rights, the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with a Disability and the Aarhus Convention.”.”.

I am moving these amendments and withdrawing them on behalf of Senator Higgins, who apologises as she is at a committee meeting. These are about public participation.
