Written answers
The Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, has been amended by successive Governments since it was enacted in 2000. Amendments may include additional provisions, repeal of existing provisions or the substitution of existing provisions with updated text. The recording and publishing of amendments to primary legislation is a function of the Attorney General's Office and is made available online through the Irish Statute Book at www.irishstatutebook.ie. I, in my role as Minister with responsibility for Planning have no statutory function in the recording or publishing of primary legislation including amendments, through the Irish Statute Book.
In addition to the Irish Statute Book, the Law Reform Commission makes available a consolidated version of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, which was last updated on 23 June 2022. This is available online at revisedacts.lawreform.ie/eli/2000/act/30/revised/en/html .
