Environment (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2025: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2026-01-14
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal East

Tá an freagra chéanna agam arís faoin na leasaithe sin, leasaithe a 6 agus a 13. Ní aontaíom leis na leasaithe sin agus nílim ábalta aontú leo mar gheall ar an freagra chéanna ar leasaithe a 4 agus a 11. They are already linked. These amendments are linked to the previous ones that we discussed, amendments Nos. 4 and 11. I refer to those new sections 88D and 44B of the Bill. It is the same answer that I gave previously. The proposed amendments would go beyond the obligations that are already set out under the EIA directive and might not meet the objectives or the purpose to which the emergency provision is required. I am more than satisfied - táim lán-sásta faoi sin - that the provisions already within the Act, and in section 88D of section 15 of this Bill and section 44B of section 26, are appropriate as they stand. Therefore, I am not in a position to accept the amendments.
