I am disappointed, though, that he opted to table a large number of...

Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage and Miscellaneous Provisions Bill 2023: [Seanad Bill amended by the Dáil] Report and Final Stages (11 Oct 2023)

Lynn Ruane: Yes. This amendment relates to the transparency around consultations which may happen under section 22(8). While it is welcome that the council is empowered to consult with public authorities regarding register actions, the phrase "or other persons" is quite broad and there should be a record kept where such consultations are undertaken, especially when they are not with public authorities....

The rationale for the removal of this provision is that it removes the application of Chapter 2 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 to a lease made on or after 1 October 2017, under section 2 of the 1993 Act authorising the lessee to, for the purposes of the development of one or...
