Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: Yes.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)

Thomas Pringle: It is a failure on the Minister’s part and on that of his Department that this is being rushed through on this Stage without any proper debate. For something that will have such a large impact on people and society across the board, it is wrong that this is happening. LNG is hugely polluting. We all know that. It does not even address the potential challenges given this will...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)

Catherine Connolly: A precedent has been set here.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)

Thomas Pringle: I just wanted to head off the Leas-Cheann Comhairle. I think she was gathering her breath there to get on to me, so I just wanted to head her off at the pass to get to speak on it anyway. Hopefully, we will get to amendments Nos. 78 to 90, inclusive. I doubt it very much. If we do, then we can have a further debate on the merits of the LNG amendment itself.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: I thank the Deputies. I will endeavour to answer as many of the questions as were put forward on this grouping - amendments Nos. 1 to 18, inclusive - as I possibly can. At the outset, and for the record of the House, this charge that this legislation is in any way, shape or form rushed is completely and utterly incorrect.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: I did not interrupt the Deputies once. They will get their time and come back. In September 2021, there was a 15-month comprehensive review of the Planning and Development Act. This was asked for by the Government of the Office of the Attorney General. We are talking nearly three years on that. In December 2021, the planning advisory forum was established. It was made up of over 30 key...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)

Ivana Bacik: I know others have already spoken in general about the process. Indeed I spoke about it this morning. It is really concerning to see that we have only three hours to debate 177 pages. I am just looking at the groupings we have been given. Even if we just look at the groupings, we can see 31 groupings of amendments and we are still only on the first grouping 45 minutes into what is only a...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)

Thomas Gould: It is often said that rushed legislation, or rushed amendments to legislation, leads to bad legislation. We have seen this time and again. Regarding the amendments included here, which have not gone through the fairly rigorous process we had at the Oireachtas Select Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage, where are we going? We spent hours, days and weeks going through this...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)

Catherine Connolly: I did not take exception and it is not politics. I am in the Chair, and the conversation and debate should be relevant to what is going on. That is what I am doing now as well. I remind the Deputy that we are discussing Seanad amendments Nos. 1 to 18, inclusive.
