Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Niall Cussen:
The assessments and so on come in through that provision. There are extremely well-balanced arrangements in place. There is a role for the Oireachtas in setting the big picture and the picture for the long term. There is also a role for the Government and Ministers in getting on with the day-to-day framing of policy for the planning system and so forth. It is important to ensure that there is not miscibility between those two. We cannot bring too much complication into the system.
