Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2024-07-16
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 55:
In page 60, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following:
“(d) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) , where the licence involves an environmental impact assessment or an appropriate assessment, no deemed grant of permission shall arise where a planning authority fails to make the decision within the periods referred to in paragraph (b) .”.
I will bring the amendment back on Report Stage. I point out that if the amendment is not accepted, that may well be in breach of the House.
