Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Marine Planning and Development Management Bill: Discussion
Mr. Conor McCabe:
As I mention on an ongoing basis, we have consulted such bodies as part of our advisory group, as we have with the IWEA, the MRIA and other bodies that have come or will come before the committee. We have not worked out the formal consultation process. The first out of the traps was the fisheries and ORE group. It is probably the most important as regards the industry that is already there and consulting with the industry that is being introduced into the maritime area. It is certainly something we can look at as an ongoing template to bring other groups in or to structure them as one group interacting with another.
