- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: It gives effect to Article 9.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: I do not understand the Deputy's problem. He accepts that the section gives effect to the article.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: Does the Deputy want me to predict everything that will or will not be reasonable in future?
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: We need to be fair here.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: The reason is that section 18 triggers the obligation for the public participation statement, which is referenced in Article 9. It does exactly what Article 9 is suggesting. I appreciate that we all need to be good-humoured about this. Nobody is arguing the Minister should provide a list of everything that is reasonable and unreasonable. That is not how legislation works. Even we in the...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: On the triggering of a public participation statement, the position on DMAPs is set out clearly in page 197 of the national marine planning framework. On amendments to MSPs and designated marine area plans, DMAPs, the detail is in section 28 of the Bill. I said the article is about giving effect. That is my clear advice regarding public participation and the associated robust...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: I move amendment No. 82: In page 28, line 30, to delete "UNCLOS and the Act of 2006" and substitute "the Convention and the Act of 2021".
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: The grouping proposes a number of changes to the public participation procedures and additional steps in the Oireachtas approval procedures. I will take participation first. In part, I think these amendments have been proposed because members may not have fully grasped the intention and function of the initiated text as a whole. This is understandable as what is proposed is innovative in...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: Amendment No. 83 proposes that the review of the recently made NMPF be undertaken within one year of its first publication. This timeframe is simply too short to accommodate the envisaged participation under this Chapter. I fully appreciate it was not the intention of Deputes to exclude or diminish the public's role in the development of the next maritime spatial plan, MSP, but that would...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: In my earlier remarks, I have been clear on that.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: There is already provision in the planning part of the Bill whereby they can be incorporated if they are produced. I will come back to the Deputy with the reference.

Peter Burke: Yes.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: It is a plan. Six years, I am told, is standard. However, I indicated clearly, in terms of my engagement with the committee, that we are looking at doing it earlier than the six-year period. I was very clear on that. In terms of the policy pieces that have to come together through this Bill and others that have been referenced, a year is way too short a term to judge it from its...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: I will try anyway. Amendment No. 84 is a technical amendment to enable amendment No. 85, as Deputy Cian O'Callaghan said. Amendment No. 85 sets out new provisions for review requirements of the first NMPF. They contain many of the same issues as earlier amendments, including limitations on ministerial consultations, while also providing for particular pillars of sustainable development and...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: The national marine planning framework prepared under Part 5 of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2018 is Ireland's first maritime marine spatial plan. The plan sets out in detail the high-level spatial planning policies that will help support sustainable development of Ireland's maritime resource. It also sets out a series of detailed requirements for plan makers and project...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: I can continue about DMAPs, as the Deputy referred to geographical areas. DMAPs will be prepared as a series of sub-national plans and will be made collectively with the MSP to form part of the national marine planning framework.
