Development (Emergency Electricity Generation) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2022-10-26
============================================================

Eamon Ryan (GP), Dublin Bay South

As I understand the drafting, the Minister does have to take into account the assessments. What is in the legislation is as powerful grammatically as "shall". It is clear that it is a case of "having taken into account". The Minister has to take into account the recommendations, assessments and conditions set out by the board.
