Public Accounts Committee

Vote 34: Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

9:00 am

Mr. David Walsh:

These are draft plans that will be up for consideration and go out for public consultation. The challenge is that they are still working off the existing regional planning guidelines that have been in existence since 2010. For those that we were about to start, we are asking if it would be better for them to wait until the new regional spatial economic strategies are in place so that they are working off the most up-to-date information and therefore would be consistent because it will be a six-year process.

In relation to Meath, I know currently the intention is actually to have that draft plan published either today or tomorrow.
