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

Verona Murphy (IND), Wexford

The Minister of State can do that, because it is An Bord Pleanála that is relying on specific planning policy requirements, SPPR. We do not need schizophrenic legislation. The Minister of State has said that there is no minimum density requirement and if that is so, and An Bord Pleanála is applying such a requirement, it is completely usurping the authority of the county development plan. It cannot do that because it is not contained in any part of the documents that were provided to me. Is the Minister of State refusing to direct An Bord Pleanála on the basis that we do not have a minimum requirement?
