Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Marine Planning and Development Management Bill: Discussion

Mr. Conor McCabe:

Deep-sea mining is not currently part of the Bill. I think that policy decisions will be made along those lines over the coming months. Just because something is not included in this Bill does not mean that it will not be included at a later date.

I will ask my colleagues in the Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications to answer the question on LNG.
