Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Alma Walsh:
On that, it is a case of striking a balance in terms of what is already covered by the national marine planning framework and the policy documents that inform the preparation of the DMAPs. However, I reiterate that the DMAP in question is obviously a new one that has come on stream as part of the new planning legislation for the marine area. It is a matter of the interaction between the terrestrial and the marine. The case study was included on the basis that it was recent and a useful example to demonstrate that. There is no reason we cannot take a look at emphasising or further referencing the preparation of other DMAPs, but it is obviously for and within the remit of the marine planning-----
