Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (18 Apr 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I support Deputy O'Callaghan's amendment. I do not accept the Minister’s argument that 15 years would disincentivise local authority enforcement action. In the majority of cases, local authority enforcement action is initiated by a planning enforcement complaint from a member of the public, and on foot of that, a statutory process kicks in. I do not see how what the Minister is...

Eoin Ó Broin: This is a live discussion in the North, as some defects have been found in an apartment block in Belfast. In the case of building defects, the period is seven years from construction.

I urge the Minister to consider...

Eoin Ó Broin: First, I will speak briefly in support of the Chair's amendment. Then I will speak briefly to my two amendments in the interest of time. I understand that the original idea to change the name of the board predates the controversy that engulfed the board last year and the year before. In principle, I was more than happy with the proposition to change the name for the reasons the Minister...

Eoin Ó Broin: Amendments Nos. 1101 and 1102. While I suspect the Minister is not going to support the amendments, I really impress upon him, given where we have come from, the need to ensure that whatever the final configuration of section 439 of the Bill might be, the planning commissioner or the deputy chief planning commissioner and the ordinary planning commissioners between them will have a range of...

Eoin Ó Broin: Before the Minister does that, I wish to press one point with him in respect of the staff. Will he use his offices to press upon the management of An Bord Pleanála, soon to be an coimisiún, to have the deepest level of engagement with the staff, both existing and new, during this period of transition? They have asked us to ask him to do that and it is very important.
