Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Marine Protected Areas Bill 2023: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Niall Goodwin:

Certainty is paramount. The projects will need to know exactly what they are dealing with as early as possible to minimise the risk into an auction and a process where they are already carrying a significant amount of risk. That legal certainty would be very much welcome. I will now ask my colleagues, Mr. Denis Devane and Ms Patricia Comiskey, to come in if they would like to put some detail on that. In general, however, we agree that certainty is needed.
