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

My concern relates to the word "colocation". There are cumulative impacts that can happen. I am a little concerned when I hear the word "revolutionary" used in the context of the new system. If it is revolutionary we should definitely get the reviews in place first, if new major pieces are going into it. In the interests of saving time because I understand the constraints we are under, I will not press the matter further. I will wait to address further issues I have with DMAPs. I am concerned about that matter and having heard the Minister of State's response I am no less concerned about it.
