Following the formation of the current government, this function now sits with me as Minister of State with responsibility for Heritage and Electoral Reform.
My Department’s Development Applications Unit (DAU) has looked into the matter and advises that, while it is unclear which of Doneraile’s two Architectural Conservation Areas (ACA) is in question, the matter is not under Part 8 of the Planning and Development Acts but rather relates to Section 38 works (Traffic Calming Measures) under the Road Traffic Act, 1994. The DAU advises that there is no requirement to refer works under Section 38 to my Department and that no such notice has been received by my Department at this time. Neither has my Department received notification of these works arising from the town’s ACA designation and related obligations.
