(i) amending the Environmental Protection Agency Act 1992 to make provision in respect of applications to the Environmental Protection Agency for licences, reviews of licences or revised licences in circumstances where an order under section 181(2)(a) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 has been made, or is proposed to be made, by a Minister of the Government for development comprising, or for the purposes of, the activity to which the application relates; and

(ii) amending the Electricity Regulation Act 1999 to give further effect to Directive (EU) 2019/944 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 to allow the Commission for Regulation of Utilities (CRU) ensure compliance by relevant market participants, that is, market participants who are not electricity undertakings, with the obligations listed under Article 59.1.b of the Directive,
