Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Mr. Brendan Heneghan:

One thing we think is a significant practical issue about getting involved in the system is the €20 and €50 fees and the bureaucracy around them. For example, take the metro application. A great many people put in observations on that but there are only 320 observations, half of which are by corporates and public bodies. Clearly the €50 and the bureaucracy put people off. There are people who just do not want to put their names on it. There are people who do not want to be members of residents’ associations.
