Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have one final technical question relating to this. A lot of the discussion on the substitute consent legislation and a lot of the reasons for it related to Derrybrien and the very significant fines. To go back to the original definition of “unauthorised development”, are the officials absolutely clear that Derrybrien, as they understand it, would be captured by that...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have one more question, and I apologise for being so pedantic about this. The Minister of State indicated that the legal advice was that cases such as Derrybrien would be covered by the definition on page 36. Was specific legal advice sought as to whether Derrybrien itself would have been covered? This might seem a little abstract to the Minister of State, being new to it, but that was...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: It was not, therefore, explicitly about whether it would have covered Derrybrien, but it would have been assumed to be part of the overall assessment of the legal advice.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I will make a couple of brief remarks before we get into the detail of the Bill. I thank the Minister's officials for their work throughout this process, last year and this year. They have been enormously helpful in their private and public briefings and in providing additional information. I know it continues to be a considerable amount of work for them. I wish to put on the record my...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: First, I strongly support Deputy O'Callaghan's three amendments. It is an issue that is going to come up regularly. Obviously, there was a very comprehensive review of the Planning and Development Act 2000 and all its subsequent changes. There were certain areas that many of us were hopeful would be addressed. One is the issue of Travellers and the expert group on Traveller...
