A major political row has erupted over new marine legislation that will pave the way for developing ocean power and offshore wind farms in future.
The Opposition has accused the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage Darragh O’Brien of railroading the National Marine Planning Framework (NMPF) through the Dáil this week without allowing the all-party housing committee an opportunity to carry out adequate pre-legislative scrutiny.
The planning framework is a spatial plan that sets out how development and activities can occur in Ireland’s maritime area, which covers almost 500,000 square kilometres of waters around the island, extending from the high water mark to 200 kilometres out to sea at some points.
Pace of planned reopening catches even Coalition by surprise Inside Politics: expectation had been that May would see more incremental unwinding
about 6 hours ago Updated: about 5 hours ago
Good morning - shortly after lunchtime on Wednesday, whispers began to circulate in political circles about a “liberal” stance being taken by the National Public Health Emergency Team (Nphet) as it considered its advice to Government.
Until then, the general expectation had been that May would see more of the incremental reopening that has characterised months of policymaking this year.
However, the pace of developments on Wednesday afternoon took even Coalition figures and Ministers by surprise. Dates for reopening things like personal services, which had been expected later in the month, were pulled forward, while it seemed outdoor hospitality - which wasn’t expected until June - could be on the cards for May, as might intercounty travel.
A Minister has insisted there has been a ârobustâ process over four years to consider the National Marine Planning Framework (NMPF) after trenchant opposition criticism of a guillotined debate.
Minister of State Peter Burke told the Dáil he heard the issues causing âfrustrationâ in the plan that paves the way for the development of wind farms and aims to turn 30 per cent of Irish waters into marine protected areas by 2030.
However, he insisted âeveryone had an opportunity to engageâ with the Department of Planning and Local Government and its expert advisory group.
The Government should have implemented the framework by the end of last month under an EU directive.
