Victor Boyhan (Independent) | Oireachtas source

I thank the Minister of State. He has given us a bit of clarity, which is great. I understand that the public consultation is nearly due for completion. I thank the Minister of State for the confirmation that the regulations will be laid before both Houses of the Oireachtas for affirmation. That will give us an opportunity. Measures like these usually come in without debate but it is open to us to seek a debate. I put the House on notice that I will seek some sort of engagement in the House on this matter. As I said, I believe it is important. However, it is also important that we follow the environmental report. I thank the Minister of State for bringing some clarity to this matter today.
