Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Mr. Gavin Lawlor:

We think that will be sufficient. More resources are needed at inspectorate level still, particularly because of the bigger projects coming, but more particularly the marine side of things. There need to be specialist inspectors and specialist advice for the marine side of things. That will be an enormous body of work when it happens properly. It is also new and so will need time and proper consideration. I know the Minister has said he will resource that side of the board in due course but the sooner the better.
