Climate Action and Low Carbon Development: Statements (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2020-06-10
============================================================

Damien English (FG), Meath West

There are plenty of decisions in front of An Bord Pleanála at this moment. Neither I, as Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government, nor the Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, dictate to An Bord Pleanála how to judge every individual site. Likewise, we do not do it to local authorities. There are guidelines set out to achieve the best planning outcomes and that is what their job is to do.
