Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 10 June 2015
193. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government further to Parliamentary Question No. 592 of 12 May 2015, if he will clarify that a case (details supplied) will be exempted from enforcement proceedings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [22646/15]
View answerThe interpretation and application of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, including the enforcement provisions of the Act, is a matter for the relevant planning authority in the first instance, and may ultimately be a matter for the Courts.
I am not in a position to comment on the application of the planning law in individual cases. In this regard, I am specifically precluded under section 30 of the Act from exercising any power or control in relation to any particular case with which a planning authority, or An Bord Pleanála on appeal, is or may be concerned with.
