Following the public display period, a report summarising the issues raised, and the Chief Executive’s recommendation will then be prepared for the Elected Members for their consideration.
This has to be prepared not later than twelve weeks after publication of the notice regarding the Draft Plan in a national newspaper.
The Elected Members then have six weeks to consider the report and to adopt, amend, or reject the Draft LAP.
If Material Alterations to the Draft LAP are proposed they must go on public display for a further period of not less than four weeks. This would take place in the Summer.
The Elected Members would then have a further period of time to consider a Chief Executive’s Report on the proposed material alterations. The Plan would then be adopted with or without the material alterations.

The Planning Authority uses the Tailte Éireann (OSI) / historical spelling of Kiltiernan in Local Area Plans (KGLAP). This was used in the previous Local Area from in 2007 and 2013.
Page 19 of the Chief Executive's report on the KGLAP Pre-Draft Consultation notes that the the spelling of Kiltiernan has varied over the years from as early as the 17th Century.
The Chief Executive's report includes a historical map of the area illustrating the 'Kiltiernan Domain' and 'Kiltiernan' place names on Tailte Éireann maps from the first edition of the 6inch map (1829-1841).
Contemporary mapping from Tailte Éireann retains this spelling if Kiltiernan.
