Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Brendan Heneghan:
There is a current High Court case. The point seems to be taken and I think it has been referred to Europe under the Aarhus Convention that there is in any event a legal doubt about the status of unincorporated bodies. The question has been referred to Europe as to whether, under the Aarhus Convention, an unincorporated body should have that right. I am fairly sure it involves a quarry in Louth. I saw the decision and I am sure I noted it down but I cannot see it in my notes.
