Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Marine Protected Areas: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (30 Nov 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank Mr. Cronin for the presentation. We have been waiting some time for this. Obviously, we have been dealing with the Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021 for some time. As Mr. Cronin knows, international best practice strongly advocates that if one is introducing the kind of planning regime we have just introduced for the maritime area, especially given the scale of offshore renewable...

While I am very clear that an MPA does not automatically exclude other activities, having that...
