Peter Burke: I move amendment No. 167: In page 70, between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following: “(4) The MARA shall, as soon as is practicable after it refuses to grant a MAC, publish on its website a copy of the notice concerned referred to in section 78(3).”.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: The detail will be set out in the regulations according to the principles and policies under section 83(3). Non-material amendments are trivial matters; material amendments are not. By way of example, enlarging the subject area of a MAC by a trivial amount would not be material. Doubling the MAC area would be material.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: It is a separate process. A MAC does not give permission to do any works. It gives permission to occupy the area. We went into precise detail on that. We had a debate on it, unfortunately when the Deputy was away. The licensing regime is regulated separately. The environmental assessment and thresholds that it has to go through are separate. That is to do work through a licence. It is...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: No, that would have to be adjudicated. They could coexist and there can be other activities. All that would have to be adjudicated by MARA. Again, we have had that very discussion here.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: I move amendment No. 172: In page 72, line 18, to delete “or by affidavit” and substitute “by affidavit or otherwise”. The amendment allows MARA to consider other information or materials apart from an affidavit in determining whether MARA should accept the surrender of a MAC. This is a minor practical amendment to facilitate administration of surrender...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (9 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: I move amendment No. 176: In page 75, line 28, to delete "the property of the State that is". The purpose of amendment No. 176 is to delete redundant wording from section 88. MACs can only be granted for property in the ownership of the State. This does not impact on the operation of the section.

This will replace the administratively unwieldy expensive and time-consuming individual property valuations required for...
