Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Eoin Ó Broin (Dublin Mid West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source
Given all of that other work in terms of international European agreements and domestic legislation, etc., that the provisions here, which is the central provision for the development plan with respect to climate change, is broadly the same as the existing Act and does not include any updated legislative policy or plan developments since 2015 is concerning. While other areas of the Bill have had significant work, amendment and change, that a key area for all agencies of Government, including local government, in meeting our 2030 and 2050 targets has had little, if any, alteration is a concern. I want to express that.
