Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Mr. Tom Flynn:

There are some restrictions. Generally, it is the exception. In the context of certification, there are other cases. For example, in procurement, one must obtain certification and one cannot simply write an appeal. One has to go before the court and set out within certain criteria that there has to be an appeal. Just to be clear, what is being proposed here is to remove even that right. It is a complete ouster of the Court of Appeal's jurisdiction in respect of planning cases. To my knowledge, I am not aware that there is another area of law, but I am open to correction-----
