Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery

Role, Responsibilities and Processes of An Coimisiún Pleanála and Office of the Planning Regulator: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Kevin Baneham:

The planning and environment court came into being in December 2023 and that is underpinned by order 103, which is part of the rules of the superior courts. It will increase the expedition of judicial reviews. I identified some of the infrastructural judicial reviews there. On Monday of this week a number of them had been assigned dates. It had a figure of zero, but Monday was a list to fix dates. We have 30 or so cases assigned dates between now and the end of the year. That is a welcome increase in the number of hearing dates in the expedition of judicial reviews.
