Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-12-01
============================================================

Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny

I go back to previous points I made. There is a rigorous system in place for a requirement for appropriate assessments and strategic environmental assessments within our planning system. As I said in the statement I made on the policy on mineral exploration, there is nothing scheduled to date. Everything is open to review, but is supported by a rigorous planning system. I can give assurance on that.
