Gas (Amendment) Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2024-04-17
============================================================

Ossian Smyth (GP), Dún Laoghaire

Specifically, the marine protected areas legislation will remain with the Department of housing. There will be no change to that. I will ask the Minister for housing when he plans to publish that legislation. Of course, he works closely with the Minister of State, Deputy Noonan, to whom he has delegated some of his functions. As I said, there is continued co-operation between the offshore renewable energy section in the Department of the environment and the Department of housing. They closely co-operate on environmental issues. I hope that clarifies matters for the Senator.
