- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (19 Oct 2021)
Peter Burke: It makes the references to section 2 clearer with respect to the Planning and Development Act 2000. Amendment No. 11 would delete "or works" and substitute ", works or development". These are all pretty straightforward technical amendments.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (19 Oct 2021)
Peter Burke: The amendments will be on the record so I will be just repeating them. Amendment No. 12 states, "In page 18, line 28, to delete "or works" and substitute ", works or development". Amendment No. 209 states, "In page 117, line 18, after "Act" to insert "or Part VIII of the Act of 2000".

Peter Burke: Amendment No. 9 proposes to construe "ecosystems-based approach" in accordance with two different directives: the marine strategy framework directive, MSFD, and the marine spatial planning directive, MSPD. The MSFD is not correctly referenced in this amendment. Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 June 2008 establishes a framework for community action in...

Peter Burke: I thank the Deputies. Amendment No. 10 proposes to exclude certain days from public consultation periods to ensure that such consultations are not inappropriately truncated. I accept the spirit of this amendment and thank the Deputies for its proposal. This amendment is not necessary for Part 2, which involves marine spatial planning, because the regulations made under sections 18(4) and...

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (19 Oct 2021)
Peter Burke: A default boundary does not respect the natural boundaries and that is why we are going to review the idea. Obviously, land is interchangeable around the coasts. The intention is initially to get a consistent line and then we will review it once the Bill is enacted.

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (19 Oct 2021)
Peter Burke: Amendment No. 14 proposes to specify a number of bodies as prescribed for the purpose of the entire Act. While acknowledging the positive intentions of this proposal, it cannot be accepted. Bodies may be prescribed under this Act for different purposes and not all of the listed bodies may need to be consulted for every single purpose. For example, Inland Fisheries Ireland and the Heritage...
