Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Marine Protected Areas Bill 2023: Discussion (resumed)

Professor Tasman Crowe:

We have covered quite a lot in the discussion on the stakeholder side. I made some more detailed notes about the stakeholder side and ways I thought it could be woven more strongly into the Bill, so I am happy to send and share those, and I undertake to do that. We have been talking about that management authority question a little, and some clarity on the exact nature of the management authority seems to me to be an important consideration. I will check my notes but I think those were the main things.
