Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development and Foreshore (Amendment Bill) 2022: Discussion

Ms Maria Graham:

The list was drawn up by reference to the panel system that exists. The intention was that sustainable development and other aspects incorporate those pieces. If we need to be more explicit, we are quite open to doing that. We were acting by reference to that. We had a previous conversation here on bodies where issues such as the community and social perspectives were raised by members of the committee when we talked more generally on that, so that would be the issue. As I mentioned, we interpret sustainable development as incorporating all of those aspects but we are quite happy to make them more explicit during the drafting stage.
