Seán Ó Fearghaíl: I am sure you do. Hold them in readiness. I apologise for not seeing Deputy O'Callaghan earlier.
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: That is fine; I thought we were going to get a good contribution on exempted development. Perhaps I should not invite it. I will speak to amendment No. 60, which is in my name. This amendment proposes that environmentally significant development would not be exempted. The Bill lists areas where planning permission or public participation are not required. Significantly, it states that...

Darragh O'Brien: I am sure he will come back in to speak about the regulator. This grouping includes Government amendments Nos. 62 and 68. They are important and have come from a very good discussion on Committee Stage. It is a good example of how we have been able to move the Bill through and take on board many of the views of Government and Opposition Members if we felt they were worthwhile. One of...
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Beidh an fhadhb ann arís agus tá sé ann cheana féin ach an fhadhb atá leis na hAirbnbs agus an reachtaíocht atá chun teacht ná áit atá daoine ina gcónaí i gceantair Ghaeltachta i mbliana, go mbeidh orthu na tithe atá ar cíos acu don chuid is mó den gheimhreadh, don fhómhar agus don earrach a fhágáil mar...

- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I move amendment No. 57: In page 44, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following: "(5) The Housing Commission shall, following consultation with the Minister for Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, Údarás na Gaeltachta, and Gaeltacht Language Planning Officers, produce a report and submit it before both Houses of the Oireachtas, not later than six months...

Eoin Ó Broin: I move amendment No. 58: In page 44, line 21, after "planning," to insert "and the use of Irish within the community, in the case of a development in a Gaeltacht area,". I will speak specifically to amendments Nos. 60, 61 and 65 to 67, inclusive and my colleague Deputy Ó Snodaigh will speak to other amendments. This is to try to save as much time as possible and to move through the...
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Tá roinnt leasuithe anseo. Luaim leasú Uimh. 58 agus 59 agus ceann eile ar a bhfuil mé ag iarraidh aird a tharraingt, is é sin leasú Uimh. 67a. With these amendments, we are trying to ensure that developments in Gaeltacht areas which offend against the Irish language are not exempted. This goes back to the point I made earlier about planning guidelines which...

- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)
Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am not blaming the Minister; I am outlining what will occur if we use the yardstick of what was promised two years ago, for which we are still waiting. We want to make sure that any report that is needed now will be issued. In this case, the timeframe is six months. The measure would force whatever Government that comes into being in the next while to act on the report or suffer the...

Darragh O'Brien: Ar dtús báire, aontaím le go leor rudaí atá ráite ag an Teachta Ó Snodaigh. Táim ag obair ar an gceist tithíochta sa Ghaeltacht agus ba mhaith liom níos mó tithíocht a fheiceáil tríd na Gaeltachtaí, ar phraghasanna réasúnta. Táim ag obair ar an gceist sin le hÚdarás na Gaeltachta, faoi...
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: Article 8 of the Aarhus Convention on consultation on legislation goes way beyond land use regulations where a strategic environmental assessment is required. The Minister might address that point in the context of what he said. On amendment No. 47 and the use of the word "expedient", will the Minister elaborate on why he feels that "necessary" is insufficient there? He is saying the use...
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: I have covered it in detail. I have explained that it is standard practice and a phrase that is widely used throughout the Statue Book. The impression would be given, or the interpretation could be, that if one was to just to remove "expedient" then it would just be "necessary". What would be the impact of that? It would be strange to remove it in this Bill while it applies elsewhere. I...

Cian O'Callaghan: I mentioned Article 8 of the Aarhus Convention around consultation.
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: As we said right the way through pre-legislative scrutiny, Second Stage and Committee Stage, every element of this Bill that we have worked through is Aarhus-compliant, unquestionably. We sought the advice of the highest law officer in the land and worked directly with him to ensure that is the case.
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: Yes, but the Minister did not answer my specific point about Article 8 of the Aarhus Convention on consultation on legislation. With respect, the Minister made a general point that the Bill is all Aarhus-compliant, but I am bringing up specifics and asking the Minister to address them.
