Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Monuments and Archaeological Heritage Bill: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Ms Rosemary Collier:
We concur with Mr. Doyle's assessment. In our opening statement, we referred to the provisions on streamlining the licensing procedures with regard to our work. We feel it will also benefit the general commercial development sector, in particular relating to housing.
To add to the comments on Clondalkin, what South Dublin County Council has achieved with the community there is really fantastic and we are delighted to continue to care for the round tower. The whole place-making and transformative work done there with the community is really important. We will continue in our role and the other role played by other stakeholders is really critical. The provisions in the general scheme are designed to strengthen that.
