Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Infrastructure Provision and Residential Developments: Discussion

Mr. Niall Gleeson:

We had CPO powers previously; it is just in the latest draft of the new planning Bill that it has been dropped. We are working with the legislation writers to correct that but it is worth highlighting at this session. We have a track record of not abusing that power. In addition, the planning process would kick in if we picked the wrong location. Ms O'Dwyer may wish to elaborate on that.
