Eoin Ó Broin: And on the Part 8 derogation?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Mar 2023)
Eoin Ó Broin: My concern is, and I will just put it on the record, as Mr. Hogan may not be in a position to reply, that is not what we were told on the floor of the Dáil by the Minister, and I do not believe that is what the legislation actually says. I do not recall anywhere in that very short piece of text a compulsion that all Part 8s were required. If I am wrong, please do correct me, because it...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Mar 2023)
Eoin Ó Broin: That section of the Bill sets out the grounds upon which it can be used, and therefore it has to be consistent with the development plan etc. I do not recall, and please correct me either now or in a note to the committee, anywhere in the text of that amendment that it was a requirement for managers to use. I am not arguing for or against it being used. I am completely unconvinced that it...

As Mr. Hogan will know from his time as a local planner, there are...

Eoin Ó Broin: The Minister did say that. I am sorry to labour this point, Chair, but I think you share an interest. The Minister gave a commitment when we pressed him on this that some kind of written guidance would be given to the local authority setting that out and that, in that, the requirement to involve particularly the elected members at some point, even when the derogation was being used, was the...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (9 Mar 2023)
Eoin Ó Broin: If something is in the Part 8 process already but has not actually gone to Part 8, for example, schemes where there has been informal constitutional in the area committee or municipal district, would it proceed as a Part 8 in the guidance note or would it be subsumed into the derogation?
