- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: Absolutely, and we work with Opposition Members. Amendment No. 96 proposes to delete section 19(1) from the Bill. That subsection disapplies the Oireachtas approval procedure in respect of a specific subset of DMAPS set out in Chapter 4. I believe that the Members may misunderstand the intention and function of this provision and may wish to withdraw the amendment following further...

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: I am sure Deputies can get them if they head up to the stationery room. Amendments Nos. 98, 104, 109 and 111 collectively provide that the competent authority "M" may also make DMAPs.

Amendment No. 98 is a technical...

Peter Burke: For a body to be designated to bring forward a DMAP, it could be a Minister with responsibility for energy regulation, the NPWS if it relates to an ecological cycle or an area in which it has expertise, or the EPA. That is a snapshot of what type of body it may be. I see the DMAP as a sub-national plan. It is like the terrestrial planning system for a county. There is the county...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: On the application by a local authority for the nearshore or foreshore area, technically it could be both. With regard to different plans coming forward, we want to challenge agencies in the spirit of coexistence in our maritime area. It will be up to the relevant Minister to adjudicate on whether to permit the DMAP to go forward. Outside of the local authority system, a DMAP has to be...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: By the Oireachtas. Essentially, the Minister, as the competent authority, would adjudicate on the request where other agencies come forward. It is good to challenge agencies in terms of their competence in that spirit of coexistence in our maritime area. I think I have answered all of the questions.

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: An agency or body cannot be singularly focused. It would have to go through all of the policies contained in the national marine planning framework. To develop a DMAP no agency or body can operate with a singular focus.
