- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: Amendment No. 500 proposes a transitional provision relating to the determination of applications and appeals made to An Bord Pleanála. This approach would not be workable because the proposed amendment would insert a new provision into the Planning and Development Act 2000, which is going to be repealed once the Bill, when enacted, is commenced. Once repealed, the Act of 2000 will no...

These amendments relate to the naming of key positions within an coimisiún pleanála in the Irish language. This is proposed to be done by redefining a number of terms already defined under section 8 and Part 17 of the Bill. The positions in...

Malcolm Noonan: Like Deputy Ó Broin, I try to use the Irish language as much as I can in daily conversations or in Dáil contributions. I have children attending Gaelscoileanna, and we have to try our best in this regard. From the perspective of the point being made, I absolutely agree wholeheartedly with the Deputy. The point made by Deputy Ó Snodaigh is well made. The more we have Irish...

Malcolm Noonan: What we are trying to do is to give effect to this change, while not accepting these specific amendments. I refer to allowing us to go back to the OPC and then come back to the Deputies with proposals in relation to this context.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: As I said, we are talking about replacing all these terms throughout the Bill. I think this is the critical thing here. What we are asking, really, is for the Deputies to allow us to consult the OPC on the proposals to see what options would be available from a drafting perspective. I hope the Deputy can appreciate this point.

Malcolm Noonan: I move amendment No. 4: In page 27, to delete lines 32 and 33 and substitute the following: “ “city” means— (a) the administrative area of a city council (within the meaning of the Act of 2001), or (b) a municipal district that includes an area that, by virtue of subsection (6) of section 10 of the Local Government Act 2001, may continue to be described...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: Amendment No. 5 seeks to amend the definition of "climate change adaptation and mitigation" to include a reference to mitigation in the definition text. The new definition would provide that it means the taking of measures to manage and mitigate the impact of climate change. I understand the intent of the proposed amendment but would like to consider it further to ensure that it aligns with...

Malcolm Noonan: I agree wholeheartedly with the Deputies. They have brought forward an important amendment. What I am asking them is to allow us to go back and give consideration to how we might give effect to it. They have to appreciate that we have to check the wording against other provisions in the Bill and unforeseen consequences in terms of other provisions. I ask them to allow us to do this. It...
