Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Review and Consolidation of Planning Legislation: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Resumed)
Mr. Colin Ryan:
An EIA is governed by the annexes on uses that have been set out and a project must fall within the remit of an annex in order for an EIA to be required. Another consistency issue is consistency in decision-making, which points to what Ms Graham spoke about, which is guidelines and another matter entirely separate from the EIA side of the house.
