‹ Order of Business Maritime planning legislation
Summary
Deputy O’Donovan asks when the maritime area and foreshore Bill will reform harbour and estuary planning; the Taoiseach expects publication during the current session.
On promised legislation, I am sure the Taoiseach will join me in welcoming this morning's jobs announcement in Limerick. The maritime area and foreshore (amendment) Bill is No. 10 on the A list. When will it come before the House? The Bill is to reform the planning system in place in our harbours and estuary areas. Some of the existing legislation and regulations are regarded by those in the business as preventing the creation of badly needed jobs in places such as Foynes in County Limerick.
