Planning and Development and Foreshore (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2022-12-08
============================================================

Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny

I will not be accepting this amendment. The independence of the board is already provided for in section 30 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, which covers limitation on ministerial power, and provides that the Minister shall not exercise any power or control in relation to any particular case with which a planning authority or the board is or may be concerned.
