This section amends section 177F of the principal Act, which sets out what is required in an environmental impact assessment report, EIAR. However, greater clarity and precision could be provided, particularly to ensure that the requirements are fully aligned with the environmental impact assessment directive. I am raising this in the context of the Court of Justice of the European Union, CJEU, ruling. I want to ensure that the EU's rules are being applied fully. I may seek to strengthen the clarity and precision around the requirements for an EIAR on Report Stage.
