The making, reviewing and varying of a local area plan is a reserved function of the elected members of the planning authority for the area. The statutory consultation process for such plans is set out in the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended; any person can make a submission on a draft plan, including in relation to zoning issues, to the planning authority within the statutory timescales provided.

I understand that Galway County Council has received a submission on the matter raised in this Question and is preparing a response to it in the Manager's Report to the elected members, recommending that an appropriate reference be included in the draft Tuam local area plan.
