Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: The key issue here is that under the current legislation local authorities are obliged to provide as part of the development plan process a list of public rights of way, whereas under this Bill they are no longer obliged to list public rights of way. I am not sure if it is section 58 where the change or the weakening of the provisions occurs or if it is elsewhere in the Bill. Could the...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: An amendment to the 2000 Act, passed in July 2010, placed a legal obligation on a planning authority to include objectives for the preservation of public rights of way in development plans. This is to be done by "marking them on at least one of the maps forming part of the development plan and by indicating their location on a list appended to the development plan". This is in section...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: My point is that it states “shall” regarding where a planning authority proposes to include a provision in a development plan relating to the preservation of a specific public right of way, whereas the existing legislation places a legal obligation on planning authorities to include objectives for the preservation of public rights of way. That is why it is a dilution of the...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: That is the issue.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: It is because section 49(2) states that “a development management statement may include objectives for any of the following”, whereas the existing legislation obliges the local authority to include objectives for the preservation of public rights of way. It is not what is in section 49(2)(g) that is at issue; it is the introductory wording that is of significance.

Cian O'Callaghan: This relates to section 49, which is why-----

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: “Shall” is used in relation to where a planning authority proposes to do this. It is still optional. That is the point.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: Does "during the course of this session" mean this afternoon?

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: Will there be a breakdown per local authority?

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: The reason I ask is because the Irish Planning Institute raised with me, for example, that in one local authority, only three out of 11 posts in the planning department had been filled. That is relevant to this because if there are only three planners out of 11 posts and there are additional workloads like this, how are they meant to do it? That is the exactly the point of----
