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:
I really like the idea of the planning, making this clear in public, and having maybe one chair, two vice-chairs, the appeals function and the primary decision-making. It sounds good for public consumption as well.
Regarding the Foreshore Act, I reiterate that there is an opportunity to amend the Foreshore Act. We have all of this in the planning Act. It can literally be copied and pasted to provide that the Foreshore Act is not a dinosaur where the Minister can decide everything.
