225. To ask the Minister for Communications, Climate Action and Environment if he will consider bringing forward legislation to regulate light pollution; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19235/22]

My Department has no role with regard to light pollution. I am advised that the amount of light that might emanate from a proposed development in terms of potential impacts on adjoining properties and protecting their residential amenity is considered in assessing individual planning applications on a case by case basis. Any question on possible legislation may, therefore, be more appropriate to the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage.
