Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed)

Deputy Cian O'Callaghan:

I move amendment No. 186:

In page 91, between lines 9 and 10, to insert the following:

“(13) For the avoidance of doubt where the applicant for judicial review under this section 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 2 months 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.”.
