Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2023)

Malcolm Noonan: It is important that the rationale behind a decision is given. Added to that are the recommendations of the Heritage Council, with the support of outside expertise.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2023)

Malcolm Noonan: Going back to the role of the Heritage Council, we absolutely could accept it. It would seek out the relevant expertise related to a relevant monument. That has always been the case in terms of its work and practice. I do not envisage a situation whereby the Heritage Council will not seek the relevant expertise. There is nothing stopping members of the public from writing to the Minister...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2023)

Malcolm Noonan: The Minister would in the normal course consider submissions from anyone if people feel minded to write in to the Minister of the day. Again there is the issue of imposing a duty to consider each proposal again, which might not be soundly based. I think that is why the expert opinion and views are required. That would be burdensome. The aim is to have a really proactive programme of...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2023)

Malcolm Noonan: This applies to sites where there is special protection and that are on privately owned land. Really, the notice is just to the landowner. From that perspective, what is required here is the expert view and the advice of the Heritage Council to the Minister of the day. That is why it is distinctly different from an open public consultation process in respect of a bigger policy or plan. It...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Jul 2023)

Malcolm Noonan: I move amendment No. 108: In page 43, line 38, after “integrity” to insert “, community”. Following a commitment I made during the Bill's passage through the Seanad, amendments Nos. 108 and 111 introduce "community value" to sections 14, 7 and 23 of this Bill. This will ensure community value is taken into consideration when deciding on entry of monuments...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2023)

Malcolm Noonan: I believe we would all be in agreement that the Title of a Bill should suitably describe the main content of the Bill as accurately as possible. The current Title of this Bill, as proposed by the Office of the Parliamentary Counsel, OPC, reflects the broad scope of the Bill while focusing on a central element of the provisions contained therein. The term "historic heritage", as defined in...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2023)

Malcolm Noonan: Amendments Nos. 2, 3, 5 and 331 are technical amendments introduced to take account of the proposed Part 13 of the Bill. Regarding amendment No. 2, as Part 13 intends to amend seven different enactments, parliamentary counsel have suggested the addition of the term "Miscellaneous Provisions" to the Short Title in order to provide a suitable workaround. A corresponding amendment to the...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2023)

Malcolm Noonan: I move amendment No. 4: In page 17, line 19, after “sections” to insert “222*,”. In addition to those amendments introduced as a result of Part 13, amendment No. 4 provides that the new section 222 comes into effect immediately on enactment of the Bill. This is required as section 222 contains new reporting provisions that are to come into effect immediately...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Committee Stage (29 Jun 2023)

Malcolm Noonan: The amendment is primarily a result of discussions in the Seanad. I have decided to introduce a catch-all reporting provision, mirroring several such reporting provisions on the Statute Book. This will require a report to issue within five years of the Bill’s enactment. The provision will not need to be commenced; it will come into effect automatically on enactment. The report will...
