Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Marine Protected Areas Bill 2023: Discussion (resumed)
Professor Tasman Crowe:
Yes, absolutely. There is also a difference between things going on in the nearshore environment which are very complex and which have many different stakeholder interests. It is very important to have very extensive discussions in those spaces. Not many people see or go further offshore, so we are then dealing with a smaller number of industrial-scale stakeholders and it is a different kind of conversation. Again, it could be envisaged that that would happen more quickly.
