Following the tabling of a notice of motion which was carried unanimously by the Elected Members, it was agreed to postpone the Special Planning Meetings scheduled for 19-23 October. A further update will follow. The Motion read as follows; “That the Elected Members of Meath County Council call for the adjournment of the Special Planning Meeting of the Council of October 19th-23rd, 2020, in the interests of public health and the health and wellbeing of Council staff and elected members until the appropriate legislation providing for the Council to hold remote meetings comes into effect and being not less than three days after the commencement of such legislation. The Elected Members of Meath County Council request clarity from the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage with regard to the impact on statutory time lines, seek additional time, if required, for the process to ensure compliance with statutory obligations and further propose that a new date for the Special Planning Meeting will be considered at the monthly Council Meeting on November 2nd, 2020, if not already fixed prior to that date.”
