Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Ms Mary Jones:

There are elements throughout the Bill that we are moving to regulation. If we need to, this will allow us to include further matters via regulation. We took the view that it would be more appropriate to have some matters dealt with by regulation than by primary legislation. What needs to be done with the register will be set out in primary legislation and the details of what needs to be included can be included via regulation. The regulation can be changed as needs be, allowing us to update it. We have made the same provision in a number of places throughout the Bill.
