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 (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: 296. To ask the Minister for Education and Skills further to Parliamentary Question No. 267 of 30 January 2024, the process through which parents can apply for an exemption for their child to remain in an early intervention class for a further year, due to being unable to secure a special school place, as this was not answered in the previous reply; and if she will make a statement on the...

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)

Eoin Ó Broin: Am I correct in saying there is a technical amendment to section 1 in the latter stages of the Bill? I am a bit confused as to why that amendment is at the end and is not being dealt with first. Perhaps someone could explain that to me. I apologise.

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

Eoin Ó Broin: That is okay. I presume we can return to that on Report Stage if any issues arise when we come to discuss the rationale for that change. I will just put that on the record.

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...

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

Eoin Ó Broin: The difficulty is on the one hand the Minister is saying this Bill is not the right place to address this issue, but he is also saying it is not his intention to formally initiate a review of Part M.

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

Eoin Ó Broin: Does the Minister mind my asking whether it is his intention to initiate a formal review of Part M? That is what those groups have asked him to do.

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

Eoin Ó Broin: Okay.

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

Eoin Ó Broin: To continue the point I was going to make, on the one hand the Minister is saying this Bill is not the appropriate place to do it. On the other he is saying it should be a change to building control, but he has yet to decide whether he is going to initiate that review. If he were to initiate it, they typically take at least a year and that would only then start to work into the next cycle...
