Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (5 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: With respect to the NPF and issues of speed and delay, it might be helpful for the Minister of State to give the committee an update on the announcement made earlier today of the decision of the Government to defer the publication of the revised national planning framework, which is obviously relevant to this section. It would be helpful to put that information in the public domain regarding...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: It is a straightforward amendment that relates to the procedures for the review of the national planning framework under section 21.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Particularly if you think of the north west and the interconnectedness between Tyrone, Fermanagh, Derry, etc., and the...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I think the Chairman does himself a disservice because the amendment is sensible, well crafted and is sufficiently open to allow the Government to decide what “respond to” would actually mean. I do not think the immediate implication of inserting this would be a requirement for an individual response to be posted to everybody. The way in which primary legislation works is it...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I can go back and have a look at them now but from memory, that is the way they are.
