Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
The Bill must be judged in that context and not by the admirable intention to deal with excessive bureaucracy. I would have no problem if this issue was reflected upon over a period, perhaps through hearings by the relevant Oireachtas committee. All that needed to be provided in this legislation was a simple clause to deal with the withering of planning permissions. The Attorney General was wrong if he advised that this could not be done.
