As a result of the regional plans and anticipating what will happen down the road, counties such as mine will have to undertake a complete review of their county development plans based on the regional plans.

Pat Casey: I have no argument with the principle of what is being proposed but some communities are being significantly affected by it.

Pat Casey: The Minister of State and I know how long a county plan takes, even when one goes for a simple variation, never mind a full review, of it. Theoretically, one should not start a local area plan up until that process has started. With the best will in the world, one is looking at 12 to 18 months for a county development plan. Then one is only starting the process for the local area plan and...

The triggering of Article 50 and the two years of...
