Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Ms Rachel Minch:

These are imperative reasons for overriding the public interest, IROPI, and whether something that will have an adverse effect on the integrity of the protected site might still be permitted. The Bill includes reasons deemed to be imperative for overriding the public interest and we want to look at them more closely. There is also the threshold for screening for environmental impact assessments. I know these are quite high-level points.
