Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
10:00 am
John Cummins (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I stated on Committee Stage that everyone in this House supports good environmental practices, and in this case having protected marine life, but at the same time we have to acknowledge and be honest that delays occur as a result of challenges. It was indicated on Committee Stage by the Member on my left that he was already aware this legislation which we were still in the process of discussing would be challenged in the courts before we even concluded our business as Oireachtas Members, which was disappointing to hear.
