Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Rachel Minch:
There are some measures that could mitigate what arose in the Narconon Trust v. An Bord Pleanála case. The new provisions state that where a third party brings enforcement proceedings, any former declaration is not admissible in court. This means people will not be bound by a declaration in which they were not able to participate. It sends a third party down the enforcement route rather than the section 5 route.
