- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Okay. My question then, to flip that, is whether the figure for the southern region is lower than the other two because it has a higher level of energise capacity currently.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I do not see a similar national policy objective for offshore wind energy. Is that because this document is not the right place for it? Perhaps it fits within the marine spatial plan. Is there a comparable table in that plan for offshore wind?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: This is just a query. Is there no comparable spatial distribution of the overall targets set out in the climate action plan?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Sure. What is significant about this policy objective is that, in respect of onshore wind, it takes the macro targets from the climate action plan and says the regional distribution of those targets should be as per the table provided. There is nothing comparable anywhere for offshore wind. Am I correct in that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Yes.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: It will be done as the DMAPs roll out?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: However, at a State-wide level, there has been no attempt to set out what the spatial distribution should be in respect of offshore wind. I just want to understand the situation. In regard to onshore wind, there is a setting out of the regional distribution. With offshore, decisions on regional distribution are being left to the DMAP process, with the requirement that the sum of the...

Eoin Ó Broin: Will the witnesses run through the figures for the compact growth targets again? Have they changed from the earlier version? If I knew the page in the amended document, I could flip through it. This is to continue the conversation Deputy Leddin started.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I am asking about the compact growth targets.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Will Mr. Hogan go through that again? The figure is 40% within existing settlements.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Of that 40%, half has to be within the cities-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Will Mr. Hogan explain the 30%?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Is Mr. Hogan saying the target is that 60% of new homes will not be within existing settlements?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I understand this target is not a new one.
