Amendment No. 53 introduces a definition for "transport infrastructure" to section 17 and broadens the term "public transport" to include a reference to infrastructure for cyclists and pedestrians.

Amendments Nos. 54 to 56, inclusive, amend section 18. The section currently provides that where Part 3 requires publication of a notice stating that a matter will be made available for public inspection, it shall be made available for inspection for the stated period or where no period is stated a reasonable period. Section 18 currently applies to the OPR, regional assemblies and planning authorities. These amendments also apply section 18 to the Minister.

Amendment No. 73 seeks to add the term "or body" for consistency to subsection 2 (i) of section 23, as the paragraph initially refers to a department or body in Northern Ireland.

Amendments Nos. 75 and 76 seek to add clarity to subsections (6) and (7) of section 23 by specifying the appropriate paragraph reference.
