Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 14 November 2017
507. Deputy Catherine Connolly asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the reason the draft national planning framework is not available in Irish to date; when it will be available in Irish; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [47784/17]
Amharc ar fhreagraIreland 2040 – Our Plan, the Draft National Planning Framework, sets a new long-term strategic planning and investment context for Ireland over the next 20 years.
The Draft National Planning Framework (NPF) document was published for public consultation on 27 September up to and including, 12 noon on Friday, 10 November.
Due to unexpected delays in translation and production services that were engaged in the translation of the 42,000 word draft consultation document into Irish, it was unfortunately not possible to publish an Irish version of the document during this final consultation period. However, an Irish version will be made available shortly. An Irish version of the final NPF to be approved by Government in due course will also be published at that time.
