Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. Paul Hogan:
To answer without getting into the specifics of cases, off the top of my head, maybe it was not demonstrated that a particular document was not taken into consideration, or someone was not consulted who should have been. That sort of thing can arise. Ultimately, the logic of the judicial review process being about addressing procedural matters is what is important. That is why this is at stake. It is not necessarily about the merits of the case in terms of the principles developed.
