- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: I know. Unfortunately, the discussion on the Bill commenced early and therefore, I have not heard the earlier contributions. I will to briefly restate my concerns about the ramming through of this Bill. On Report Stage, we had many amendments which did not get dealt with because the Bill was guillotined. I know the Government will say there were many hours afforded to this Bill on...

Danny Healy-Rae: I am glad to get the opportunity to say a few words on this Bill. If I was to really speak about everything, it would take a whole week. I know we do not have that kind of time, however. I am worried about this Bill because I am wondering, first of all, who this planning commissioner is going to be? I am worried about the erosion of the role of county councillors, who are elected by the...

Danny Healy-Rae: -----asked, on behalf of the councillors, to put forward amendments to, we will say, the county development plan. The regulator then comes along, whom I do not know and no one in Kerry knows nor does he understand their problems. When we look to get a bit of serviced land zoned, what happens? The regulator sends an addendum to the chief executive telling the councillors to withdraw...
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: I have amendments to move here as well. I will be very clear about this. To have three hours for 175 pages of amendments is absolutely no way to do legislation. These are new amendments that have not been discussed in this Chamber before, have not been scrutinised here, so this is our only attempt to scrutinise them. Most of them will not be reached at all today. That is very worrying,...

Darragh O'Brien: Seanad amendments Nos. 1 and 2 relate to section 1, which sets out the Short Title and a standard technical provision providing for the commencement of the Bill. Amendment No. 1 moves the collective citation relating to the Residential Tenancies Act from Part 24 to Part 1 in order that all collective citations are contained together in section 1. This increases clarity for the reader. ...

They propose that the Minister should report on the Bill's compliance with the Aarhus Convention before...
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I have submitted a number of amendments to Seanad amendment No. 2. We have three hours to go through 175 pages of amendments. Some of the amendments are relatively straightforward and technical in nature but many of them are not. Many substantively change key aspects of the legislation. Late last night, we received another eight pages of substitute amendments, one of which is the second...
