Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Robin Mandal:
Ms Kimber might answer that but I will give my take on it. It is a very simple one, primarily to do with Part 9. According to section 50A of the current Act, where the procedures for the courts are set out for a judicial review, the court is the one that decides. Under this Bill, a lot of that discretion would be taken away. That is interference. That is attacking the separation of powers.
