- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: I am not sure and I will have to consider that further. I am not in a position to accept it right now. Our big focus on the linguistic piece is in practical terms, whereas, as I said, we know what we are doing with the priority area plans and I will not labour that, but that would be a very significant step forward. Just to clarify on the point, in respect of the inclusion of monuments in...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: On amendment No. 422, which covers public rights of way, I will consider that on foot of what we have said but I need to balance it and we will have to look at it because I do not believe rights of way should be legislated for, although I am not saying we are doing so within this Bill. I have to see what other consequences would be there, but I take the point. I have said on amendment No....

Darragh O'Brien: It is worth repeating too that we want to look at this on Committee Stage, before Report Stage. The Deputy is right on the active travel piece, we are seeing a significant increase of routes being opened and developed throughout the country. That is great to see. On how they link up, I can speak from experience from my own local authority, Fingal County Council, where it has actually shown...

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: I will check that. Before Deputy Ó Broin comes in, regarding the deletion of that section, we will have to look at what consequences might arise from the deletion of that amendment. If we were to replace it with something suggested by the Deputy, that is fine. We need to look at what that potentially would be replaced with, or added to in a new subsection. That is the issue I need to...

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: Is the Deputy talking about section 17?
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: It is in the current Act. It is a transposition.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: It is a transposition. It basically reads a copy of or part of a planned strategy or statement made under this Part and certified by an officer. It can be used as evidence in a case and it details what that is in the case of the national planning framework or the national planning statement. It outlines it pretty clearly.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (29 Feb 2024)

The Minister may for the purposes of giving further effect to the SEA Directive by regulations in the Act referred to as strategic environmental assessments may make further provision for the application of the directive to any...
