Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Nick Killian:

I will not go into it too much. To be fair, the regional assemblies have a job to do but they are seen by councillors as a body that is out there somewhere and we do not really know what they do. They are not reporting back. Certainly in my council we have not had a report back from the regional assembly for God knows how long and we do not hear what it is actually doing. With regard to the Bill, this has to work its way from councillor to assembly to the CCMA but it also has to work backwards. We need to know what is going on. At the present time we are very unsure as to what is going on.
