Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006: Committee Stage.
4:00 pm
Dick Roche (Wicklow, Fianna Fail)
May I finish the sentence? The board will still hold oral hearings on large, controversial cases, such as many strategic infrastructure projects where such hearings are not mandatory but clearly in the public interest. The board must have the discretion to use its judgement on the holding of oral hearings so that appropriate cases are given public hearing.
