Planning and Development Bill 2020 [Seanad]: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2020-12-16
============================================================

Eoin Ó Broin (SF), Dublin Mid-West

I move amendment No. 12:
In page 4, between lines 25 and 26, to insert the following:
"(4) Where an order under subsection (2) specifies emergency periods under subsection (3)(b)(i) or subsection (3)(b)(ii) , or both, in making the order the Government shall also consider—
(a) the likely interest of the public in the administrative area for which the order is made, in environmental decision-making in other administrative areas for which no order is intended by virtue of such other administrative area not satisfying the considerations under subsection (4) ,
(b) the potential negative impact to public participation and wide access to justice which might result from a failure to extend the application of emergency periods beyond the administrative area where the making of an order is satisfied under subsection (4) , and
(c) the need to extend the administrative area covered by the order as a consequence to provide for effective public participation and wide access to justice, notwithstanding subsection (4) .".
