Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Review and Consolidation of Planning Legislation: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Resumed)

Ms Maria Graham:

I thank the Senator for his comments. They align with a lot of what I said. One of the things that struck me while he was speaking is that I think we have previously talked about guidance and its importance. These are complex areas. The Office of the Planning Regulator has produced guidance. The Department itself issued planning guidance on SEAs as well. Our team that deals in particular with EU and international areas participates in a lot of the Commission working groups in this area because learning from best practice and from other countries is an important part of that evolving landscape.
