Darragh O'Brien: The purpose is the same as section 37 of the Planning and Development Act 2000. It is pretty much a transposition. It is shorter because that has been split across the Bill. Does the Deputy have the existing Act?

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: Amendment No. 691 provides the Minister with a power to direct that strategically important appeals are dealt with expeditiously by the commission. This power mirrors an existing provision for direct applications to the commission under section 124(8) of the Bill. However, the wording needs to be reviewed to refer to appeals in this case rather than applications. I will review this...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: We have looked at this issue. My clear view is that it is well provided for already. In section 123, subsections (2)(a)(i) to (2)(a)(iv), inclusive, detail the requirements regarding decisions. The requirement to "state the main reasons for the decision and the main considerations on which the decision is based" means the need for detail is well covered. I do not intend in any way to be...

Darragh O'Brien: I understand that, particularly where the board, or an coimisiún, as it will be, decides not to go with the inspector's recommendation, as it is entitled to do. Section 123(2)(b) states "under paragraph (a) shall state the main reasons for not following the recommendation in the report". If there were a way of defining "in detail", it might work, but I honestly do not see one. I take...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: I get the point the Deputy is making, particularly in the instance in question. It is generally well covered in section 123(2)(a). Maybe there is something that the Deputy wants to think about and engage on regarding section 123(2)(b).
