Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-11
============================================================

Eoin Ó Broin (SF), Dublin Mid-West

I will focus on amendments Nos. 103 to 110, inclusive. They relate to section 13 of the Bill, which deals with licences for appliances and cabling on public roads. Amendments Nos. 103 to 106, inclusive, seek to extend the timeframes within which decisions are made. Amendment No. 107 provides that a proposed grant of permission under subsection 8(b) cannot arise where an environmental impact assessment or appropriate assessment is required.
The remainder of the amendments, Nos. 108, 109 and 110, relate to appeals. There is provision for appeals in the relevant section. My view is that it is a little cumbersome, so in amendments Nos. 108 and 109 we have tried to find an easier, better way to facilitate that.
