I propose to take Questions Nos. 545 and 546 together.

Section 25 of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority Act 1997 — the Act — requires the authority before preparing a planning scheme to consult with Dublin City Council, DCC, and such other statutory bodies as appear to the authority to have an interest in the area to which the planning scheme relates, and arrange for the making of submissions by interested persons regarding the planning scheme. This consultation includes any environmental impact statement prepared pursuant to section 26 of the Act. The authority is not required under section 25 of the Act to advertise applications for certification that proposed development is consistent with a planning scheme.

I am informed by the authority that before determining any application it satisfies itself that the information contained therein is accurate.
