Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Tom Flynn:
It is something we may think about and come back to the Deputy. On his comment that no additional resources arise from this Bill, I do not know whether that is the case but, if it is, you would have to question the reality of those time limits and the purpose of including them. If we are not going to have any additional judges to deal with these matters, I do not foresee compliance with those time limits. I do not know what my colleagues' views on this are but I really do not see how those time limits will be met without additional resources.
