Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-12-14
============================================================

Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny

While I appreciate the motivation behind the amendment, section 226 of the Act refers to the local authority development on the foreshore. This amendment would effectively nullify existing permissions for local authority development and have significant consequences for the delivery of essential public infrastructure such as wastewater treatment facilities. I am certain the Senator would agree that we have to move on such infrastructure. I oppose the amendment.
