Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Steven Matthews (Wicklow, Green Party) | Oireachtas source
It was suggested at a previous session that there is already a process of some kind to quash a decision and remitting it to the board. The concern is that even with a perfectly functioning board that has enough board members, quashing and remitting decisions might mean another 16 weeks - maybe less - of consideration. At present, there are massive delays and backlogs with stuff going back to the board. Would the witnesses guess that this is bring proposed because of resourcing and delay issues rather than in order to give us better judgments or better law?
