Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Tom Flynn:
Arguably, you would not even need to go as far as a division. You could simply have a list and a number of judges assigned to that list. There is already a strategic planning and infrastructure list, but there are certain criteria to enter into that list and not all environmental and planning cases go into it. Some go into the non-jury list. You could have a list and say that all cases go into it and allocate three or four judges to it.
