Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development and Foreshore (Amendment Bill) 2022: Discussion
Ms Karin Dubsky:
One of the unintended consequences could be further public distrust in what is happening at sea if an added power is given to the Minister. We need to have laws covering airspace but at the same time, something that is terribly important for the public is having information and a time for when decisions are made. If that is not addressed but giving power to the Minister is, then it is dynamite. There is already a growing distrust in what is happening at sea. We ought to make that transparent. I really would love if Deputies would address this other side and tell people they are listening to them.
