Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

1:20 am

Ms Attracta U? Bhroin:

If the Cathaoirleach might permit me, I might take a step back from that. It is not so much the changes in relation to who can take a judicial review; it is the way that they have compounded a number of different categories of the public, be it the public concerned or the wider grouping of the public, as we understand those groupings from the Aarhus Convention, and how that is set out in section 249(10).

I would hope that we would be able to take a step back in the context of looking at judicial review in general. I will ask Dr. Logue to take us through that. It would be helpful because we have extreme concerns in relation to section 249(10).
