Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Planning and Development Bill 2020: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Mr. Eamonn Kelly:
It is our understanding that it does not prohibit both. This is the only provision in the entire planning Act where the phrase "public meeting" is mentioned. There are numerous other phases, as Senator Fitzpatrick mentioned earlier. There are numerous public meetings held and there are no provisions either preventing or requiring them and yet they happen. To answer the Deputy's question, it is our understanding that it can be both.
