I move amendment No. 14:

In page 4, between lines 24 and 25, to insert the following:

“(iii) different categories of activity to which an emergency period might apply.”.

I am moving the amendment on behalf of Senator Higgins. She asked me to say that the Government needs to recognise that in some circumstances not all forms of construction or construction activity are equal and there should be differentiated priority, for example, social housing development taking priority over commercial development during this emergency. I am withdrawing the amendment on her behalf with a view to reintroducing it.
