Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion
Mr. Colin Ryan:
Yes, apologies. We have looked at that process internally in the system as regards the capability of the local authority, or mainly the board, to declare IROPI and move into that process in a more streamlined way. Broadly speaking, the purpose of that review was to review it in line with the directives and what they actually require. That was the primary purpose. It was to clarify the matters that are there now around appropriate assessment and environmental impact assessment.
