Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Review of National Planning Framework and Climate Targets: Discussion

Mr. George Hussey:

In previous jobs, I was involved in some discussions about mapping work. It is very difficult for the CSO, Ordnance Survey Ireland and others that are involved to try to work out what the boundary shapes ought to look like. This is largely because past development activities have left us in the place where we are. On whether we should have inner and outer targets, there may well be something to be said for it but it is not something we have specifically thought about at the council.
