Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Seán Fleming: I am from Laois which is one of the first counties to have a ministerial order for our plan when the then Minister of State, Mr. Dick Roche, was in office. I am more than familiar with the process. Some of the names Mr. McCarthy just mentioned would have discussed the issue with the Minister. A formal structure is being put in place. Up to now the Department was doing it. A previous...
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Seán Fleming: It may have just taken time to develop the legislation. The situation has improved. My final question relates to planning policy. The estimated spend was approximately €500,000 and there is quite a bit of underspend. That was mainly due to the fact that anticipated expenditure to carry out the strategic environmental assessment of the wind energy development guidelines was not...

- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Seán Fleming: Could Mr. McCarthy send us a note on that because there are many people in various communities watching the proceedings and one of their main concerns about the guidelines not coming through is that the old policy, which was drafted a long time ago, is now the basis on which local authorities have to make a decision. When were the existing guidelines introduced?
- Public Accounts Committee: 2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government (28 Feb 2019) Seán Fleming: Mr. McCarthy will understand the reason for concern. In 2006 a big wind turbine was 30 m high, now they are 186 m high. They bear zero relationship to turbines that have been going through the planning process in respect to the guidelines that local authorities are obliged to use. Somebody in the Department has not been fair to either the communities or the local authorities, expecting...
