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:

The Attorney General's group is looking with colleagues in other countries at those different elements. We have our own EU unit that can gauge us in a number of groups. We also participate in the so-called five planning administrations, namely Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales, England and Ireland. Being common law jurisdictions, there will be clearer commonalities with them. We have met the European Commission and set out what we are doing. It was agreed that we would go back and talk to them in more detail in September, so as to give them a flavour of what we were doing, and they pointed to some other countries that would be useful to talk to in terms of experience. It is being dealt with in a number of dimensions.
