- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Marine Planning Area Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: I have listened to Opposition Deputies on many occasions through this process. We have taken suggestions from them and I will do so, where I can. However, if we look at the language the Deputies are trying to introduce, the word “compatible” is subjective. It is the same with “full public consultation”. It leaves everything open to legal challenge down the road...

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Marine Planning Area Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: In the first instance, we must get the legislation through and it will be a decision for the Government to proceed then. In essence, it will be more specifically set out in the regulation. It was too broad and encompassed, for example, the registration of all sea captains. We are carrying a new robust process by instructing other bodies to give us information which we will make publicly...

Peter Burke: Section 34(1)(a) details the type of data as any authorisation that "takes the form of a licence, consent, approval or any other type of authorisation". It is very clearly laid out.

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Marine Planning Area Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: That is exactly it. It is trying to have the best, most transparent process for the maritime jurisdiction, which we will all coexist in and use. That is a key point. We want to be as transparent as we can. This is new in terms of instructing bodies to make information available to the public in a one-stop-shop process. That is what we are trying to do. That is clearly contained within...

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Marine Planning Area Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: We are getting into semantics here. The lobbying legislation is very clear in terms of the obligation it places upon the lobbyist to comply with the legislation and publish details of what lobbying took place. That legislation is different from what we are dealing with here.

I have been through the Land Development Agency Act and other legislation. There is one piece of legislation that governs lobbying and the obligations of entities to comply with it. What we are doing here...
