Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

I have two minutes. That is great. Section 234(1), on page 459, refers to exceptional circumstances. I am not clear on what "exceptional circumstances" means. Will guidance be provided in that regard? We had to clarify that when we were doing substitute consent during the planning and evaluation Bill. I ask that "exceptional circumstances" be clarified.
I refer to my last note. I think I have exhausted them all. I ask the Department to take note of these issues and come back to the committee.
