- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Catherine Connolly: Deputy, please. In my role as Chair, I asked you to be relevant to the topic, as I ask everybody. I asked you not to make it personal. I am asking you again to direct your comments towards the amendments. I am giving great latitude.
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Healy-Rae: Thank you. I am making it clear that when you left the Chair and went to the Opposition benches, you told me what you thought about what I had said, which is fine because you are elected here the same as me. You are perfectly entitled to do that - absolutely, no problem - and you were right to say what you said. I am also right to say it is not normal behaviour. The funny thing about it...

Michael Healy-Rae: I want to make that point very clearly. Nobody in Ireland would say that it is normal for a person to object continuously. Any one individual, of course, could have an issue with a person developing something-----
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Catherine Connolly: Deputy, we are discussing amendments Nos. 1 to 18, inclusive.

Michael Healy-Rae: -----that would affect themselves. My God, how could 20 or 25 people affect you, wherever you are living? That type of nonsense will have to stop. Serial objectors will have to be called out in this House and in the local authorities for what they are. Rightfully, in my opinion, I called them "cranks" and "crackpots" this morning because that is exactly who they are. Whether you are a...

Catherine Connolly: I am not giving any more leniency. We are discussing amendments Nos. 1 to 18, inclusive.
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Healy-Rae: I am coming back to that. I mentioned "cranks" and "crackpots" because it is a fact and I want to call them out. Coming back to the Bill before us tonight, the one worry I have is when it comes to the zoning of lands. When we see what has happened to the farmers recently - I was glad at the very beginning and in the first instance on behalf of people in Killorglin, outside of Killarney...

Bríd Smith: I will not repeat the adjectives used by the Deputy, but I think he will find, in his objections to this Bill, that An Taisce is probably one of his best friends. An Taisce has warned that the Bill is part of a growing European and British trend that is intentionally rolling back on democratic legal norms. Did the Attorney General, Rossa Fanning, privately tell the Government that this Bill...

- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Michael Healy-Rae: I would like to have been here earlier but I could not because I cannot manage bilocation. I was talking about this mighty 726-page document to Matt Cooper on the radio and could not say to Matt that I had to go to the Minister. However, I am here now. I have my own views on the document, with its 136 pages of amendments. How could any Government seriously think condensing this debate...
