asked the Minister for Local Government how many planning authorities have made a planning scheme under the Town and Regional Planning Acts, 1934 to 1939; how many of these have been submitted to him for his approval; and how many have been approved by him.
While a number of planning authorities made some progress with the preparation of draft planning schemes, only one planning authority — Dublin Corporation — has submitted a planning scheme for my approval under the Town and Regional Planning Acts, 1934 and 1939. This scheme has not been approved and, as the Deputy is aware, the Local Government (Planning and Development) Bill, 1962, proposes to repeal the Town and Regional Planning Acts.
