Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Phoebe Duvall:
I can talk to the Senator's first two questions concurrently. Dr. Logue has already brought up many of the key points around participation, and particularly effective participation, regarding the provision of information. This applies throughout the Bill. I can provide a more detailed list of these in writing because it is rather extensive. Information should be publicly available when notice is given and there are gaps of time within the five weeks, or four weeks if in relation to the board, where the clock is ticking but one does not have access to the information. Having the requirement for editorial electronic publication in the primary legislation would be central.
