Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Niall Byrne:

Open space is a good one because you can look at a map of Dublin and it looks quite green but when you drill down, it is not publicly available or there are certain opening hours. The idea of publicly available open space in an area would be useful to drill down into, beyond looking at a map and saying we look quite green here but not publicly. There is private open space, as such.
