============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 4:
In page 97, between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following:
“ Locus Standi in environmental MAC cases and in proceedings to which Part 2 applies
110. For the avoidance of doubt where the applicant for judicial review under this Chapter, or under Part 2 , is—
(a) a body or organisation (other than a State authority, a public authority or governmental body or agency) the aims or objectives of which relate to the promotion of environmental protection, and
(b) has, during the period of one month preceding the date of the application, pursued those aims or objectives,
it shall have locus standi to pursue the judicial review and be deemed to have sufficient interest.”.
