Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage

That is quite a different proposition from what has happened in recent times in the unusual extension of development plans for very good reasons such as the merging of two local authorities. South Dublin County Council was in the first tranche of councils to recently agree a development plan. That was in the last 12 to 18 months. Given that we are moving to ten-year plans and that the relevant sections of this Bill are to be enacted by the second quarter of next year, the Minister of State must not be a betting man. I do not think he would put money on that timetable.
