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. Peter Mullan:

Guidelines on wind farms and masts have not been updated for some time. I understand the Department is hopeful there will be guidelines for both close to the end of the year. We welcome this because it will assist our decision-making. The current guidelines do not prohibit us from making decisions but there are grey areas in certain parts of the decisions that we make. I will hand over to Mr. McGarry on this because he has a lot of experience with strategic infrastructure development.
