Peter Burke: Amendment No. 14 proposes to specify a number of bodies as prescribed for the purpose of the entire Act.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (19 Oct 2021)

Peter Burke: The definition of "record" in the Bill relates exclusively to the form and format of the record – physical and digital.

The legal effect and efficacy of "...shall not be confused with information held..." is also far from clear. Sections 100 and 123 provide...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (19 Oct 2021)

Peter Burke: This is covered under AIE and the FOI Act. Information must have a source. It must be created and have some source associated with it. To put into a Bill the wording that has been cited makes it legally difficult to adjudicate and point in the direction of something that exists. Information must be tied directly to a source. As I outlined, the Bill is covered by the AIE regulations and...

Peter Burke: Amendment No. 25 proposes to specify specific categories of the public, whose public consultation representation shall be taken into account when determining the boundaries of a coastal planning authority, CPA, nearshore area. While noting the positive intention of the proposal, it is not necessary to itemise any particular category of the public, as well as all captured the broad term...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (19 Oct 2021)

Peter Burke: I note the comments of all the Deputies. I have the utmost regard for our fishing families and communities. As was stated, many of them have existed for several generations and many have paid the ultimate price in the course of their work. In the context of anything I say that may be technical as I respond to each of the points, I underline that I appreciate the great work they do and the...

We will engage with the local authorities subsequent to that through our surveys.
