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:

The complexity is clearly part of it but the requirement on us as an organisation in relation to decision-making and engaging with objections and other things is incredibly important. The courts have placed an onerous obligation on us. Every decision we make is possibly subject to judicial review. It has perhaps added a layer of complexity but that is the legal requirement and the environment in which we work. That has added a degree of complexity to all of it, to be honest.
