Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021 (5 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: It is an important part and including it in the legislation would be much better. Head 4 proposes changes to a key section, namely, section 37L. Whereas the other heads are specific in their wording, no wording is indicated in this case. Is there a reason for that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021 (5 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: I thank Mr. Kelly. On head 4 and the point I was making about section 37L, in the scheme there are other parts where the text is more specific.

For such a core section, it stands out to me as not having the same level of detail where the proposed wording is concerned, except that it is going to be worked on and we will see it in...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021 (5 Oct 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: I am happy to see our examination of this proposed Bill done quickly and efficiently, but I would not feel that we had done proper and full pre-legislative scrutiny of it if we have only heard from the Department and not from others.
