Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2026-03-04
============================================================

Niamh Smyth (FF), Cavan-Monaghan

I would appreciate if the Leas-Chathaoirleach could direct the Clerk to correct a minor typographical error to which I want to draw the attention of the House. I would be obliged if, in accordance with Standing Order 177, the Leas-Chathaoirleach could direct the Clerk to make a correction to the text of the Bill to include the word "the" in the Long Title on page 5, line 6, between "Part 4 of" and "Environmental Protection Agency Act", which was omitted from the initial printing of the Bill due to a technical error. Page 5, line 6 of the Bill reads "under Part IV of Environmental Protection Agency 1992". It should read "under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992".

Maria Byrne (CC), Agricultural Panel

Gabhaim buíochas leis an Aire Stáit. I hereby direct the Clerk to incorporate the change as requested.

Niamh Smyth (FF), Cavan-Monaghan

I thank the Leas-Chathaoirleach and the Senators who made contributions on Second Stage and Committee Stage. I thank the Seanad for the expedient way in which the legislation was considered and progressed.

Maria Byrne (CC), Agricultural Panel

When do we take the next Stage?

Mark Duffy (FG), Labour Panel

Now.

Maria Byrne (CC), Agricultural Panel

Is that agreed? Agreed.
