Mr. Hubert Fitzpatrick:

The SDZ process works very well when there are willing landowners who are all sharing the very same objective. Where one does not have willing landowners, it is very problematic and it gives rise to a lot of delays. I agree with the Deputy that perhaps there is some process to be worked out there, within the planning system, so if there is an willing landowners as part of an overall SDZ strategy one could find a process in planning with regard to the future development of that parcel of the lands. SDZs are great when there are all willing parties in place. There are huge benefits to that but, yes, we should have something within the planning process whereby if there is an unwilling participant within that then the planning process could address it.
