Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Mary Henchy:
I can only speak from my experience of the process. It is beginning to sound a little like a them and us. It is in the interest of a local authority to see good development in its areas as much as it is in the interest of the members. The review of a plan should be as robust as it needs to be at that time. If the plan is working, then it is working. However, if issues have arisen, it is the opportunity to look at it.
