Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (1 Dec 2021)

Malcolm Noonan: This amendment seeks to apply the requirements of the national maritime spatial plan to what is the comprehensive sub-national planning process - designated maritime area plans, DMAPs. It would upset and interfere with the intention of the DMAP concept. I accordance with section 20 of the Bill, designated maritime area plans may be prepared in respect of specified activities for one or more...

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (1 Dec 2021)

Malcolm Noonan: This amendment seeks to limit the Minister’s ability to issue a direction in respect of a DMAP and specifically limits the Minister’s ability to not require an amendment to a draft DMAP to those matters referred to in the preceding subsection that are not in the MSP directive. In other words, where there is an inconsistency with the MSP directive, the Minister must require an...

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (1 Dec 2021)

Malcolm Noonan: Again, Deputy Matthews has summed up pretty much what I want to say. That there is no definition of "interim measure" would really leave us in a bind if we pursued this amendment. I would most likely have to go back out and do the public consultation again for the marine protected areas because it was not something identified in the expert group report. It is not possible to do this. As...

Malcolm Noonan: I move amendment No. 12: In page 30, lines 2 and 3, to delete “section 17(2)(a) or (3)(a), as appropriate, applies following a review referred to in that section” and substitute “initiating a review referred to in section 17(2) or (3), as appropriate,". These amendments arise from the discussion on Committee Stage and seek to clarify when a public participation...

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (1 Dec 2021)

Malcolm Noonan: I will first address some of the issues before I give a comment specific to the amendment. We can all agree with Deputy Michael Healy-Rae that that type of activity is completely unsustainable. When we travelled around the coastal areas of the country, the last place we entered was Portmagee. We are very clear that the fishers in particular want marine protection for their own activities....

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (1 Dec 2021)

Malcolm Noonan: On the point around marine protected areas, there are protections in place within the planning system, which, insofar as has been possible, have been written into the material considerations for both the board and local authorities, under sections 293(3) and 282(2), respectively, of the 2000 Act, as inserted by the Bill. This means that any legislation and designations emanating from the...

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (1 Dec 2021)

Malcolm Noonan: I will read the scripted response and then try to address some of the concerns, although quite a few of them have been addressed by my colleague, Deputy Matthews. Amendment No. 10 proposes that a review of the NMPF be commenced within one month of enactment of this legislation. It is similar to amendment No. 83 on Committee Stage, which proposed that the recently-made NMPF be reviewed...

Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages (1 Dec 2021)

Malcolm Noonan: Amendment No. 2 is the substance of this grouping. It provides clear Oireachtas oversight over the making of a marine planning policy statement. It proposes that a draft marine planning policy statement shall be laid before the Houses of the Oireachtas and will be subject to a resolution. This amendment also makes it clear that the marine planning policy statement is subject to the...
