Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have three questions for clarification.

Is this a new provision or is it in...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: On that, just so I am clear, at what point in the process does that take place? Is it at that early stage that submissions around zoning will not be taken but, as the Chair indicated, it will be permitted at a later stage? What is the-----

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: It is about the development plan, which is countywide, and councillors who are elected for each local electoral area. Obviously, their view of what is strategically important will vary. Why is it one direction for each of those seven subheadings? What happens if groups of councillors from different ends of the county have separate requests for the direction? One seems very restrictive.
