Oral Hearing Agenda ACP-324367-26 Compulsory Acquisition Case for a site at Donoughboy, Kilkee, Co.Clare

30 / 09 / 2026

Agenda

The purpose of the oral hearing is to provide an opportunity for all parties, who wish to do so, to make further submissions and to allow the Inspector to seek clarification on any relevant issues arising and objections made. Parties will also have the opportunity to ask questions or seek clarification on submissions made at the hearing.

There is no obligation on any party to make a submission to the oral hearing or to ask questions of the other parties. All written submissions already received will be considered by the Inspector and the Commission. For this reason, undue repetition of points raised previously in written submissions should therefore be avoided.

All parties are requested to be mindful of the nature of this application and to ensure that presentations or questions are relevant to the nature of this case. You are reminded that the Commission has no role or jurisdiction in the determination, or the assessment, of compensation and that any submission made to this hearing should bear this in mind, as no discussion regarding compensation will be facilitated.

On completion of the oral hearing, the Inspector will prepare a report and recommendation on the case for the Commission. The decision to grant consent or refuse consent to the Compulsory Acquisition will be made by the Commission.

The Commission may direct the payment of a contribution towards the costs to any person appearing at an oral hearing, which have been incurred by that person, as a consequence of appearing at the hearing. Any payment will be at the Commissions discretion. Any application for costs should be made in writing to the Commission within three weeks of the date of this hearing.

If you intend to provide a written copy of your submission or use visual aids when speaking (presentations, maps, photos, etc.), these should be submitted in a digital format to the Commission at least 3 working days in advance of participation in the hearing (and will be retained on the case file after the oral hearing).

Submissions presented to this oral hearing will be recorded by a service provider organised by An Coimisiún Pleanála. You are not permitted to record the proceedings of the oral hearing.

The agenda and order of appearance for the oral hearing is set out below, along with a timetable. Parties should please note that this timetable is indicative only and may vary during the course of the oral hearing. A ‘join meeting request’ to this virtual event on Microsoft Teams will be issued by An Coimisiún Pleanála prior to the oral hearing date.
