Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Paul Hogan:
It is an established project that is happening. It becomes more of a tick-box if we just list everything that is happening anyway.
We are very happy to do that. That is not a particular issue if it is already happening. There is a balance to be struck. The status of different projects varies. There are different levels of statutory approval but also financial approval. There is a particular issue for us here, in that if we get into naming specific projects that have yet to be approved in any sense, we do not want to be seen to be jumping the gun on environmental assessment and other such issues.
