I understand that the Question refers to the progress of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2009 through the Houses of the Oireachtas. The Bill, which proposes a number of amendments to the planning code, was passed by Seanad Éireann on 1 December 2009 and is currently progressing through the Dáil, having concluded Second Stage there on 25 March.
I intend to discuss the provisions of the Bill and introduce further amendments at Committee Stage in the Dáil later this month, with a view to finalising and enacting the Bill as soon as possible thereafter. Any consequential amendments required to be made to the Planning and Development Regulations will be addressed once the Bill has been enacted.
