Under section 211, provisions have been introduced which enable the Minister to set out the manner in which functions under the Bill are to be performed and to provide practical guidance on how to comply with any provision of the enacted Bill. These codes of practice will be established following consultation and after consideration of representations received as part of that consultation. The codes will be formal documents published inIris Oifigiúiland available on the Department's website. This is a more appropriate, flexible and effective route compared to the introduction of regulations. For these reasons, I am not in a position to support the introduction of regulations to facilitate prospective landowners in complying with the enacted Bill. In response to the Senator, we will ask the official to look into the issue he raised in relation to the Planning and Development Bill 2022.
