- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Brian Leddin: I will speak in support of amendment No. 31 in section 17. I acknowledge the efforts of my colleague, Deputy Matthews, to improve the Bill with respect to how we view transport infrastructure. I thank the Minister for agreeing to the change. It shows the co-operation that exists in the Government when it comes to transport infrastructure and planning around it. I hope all Deputies agree...
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: There is a gag that the Green Party is the cycling wing of Fine Gael.

- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Richard Boyd Barrett: -----because Deputy Matthews went along with the cynical guillotining of this Bill. This, therefore, is the last opportunity we have to speak on the really substantial amendments in this Bill. We will not get to discuss them properly. The Green Party has betrayed its promise in the programme for Government not to develop more fossil fuel infrastructure in this country that will lock us...

Richard Boyd Barrett: -----while, at the same time, shielding themselves and the Government from justified scrutiny and criticism over a series of amendments we will never even get to discuss because this debate will be over in a few minutes. These amendments were never discussed by the Dáil at any stage and we are not going to get the opportunity to discuss them. They will do extreme damage to the...
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: On a point of order, I am not sure whether Deputy Boyd Barrett was present when I responded to the charge some TDs made in relation to the Seanad amendment that was brought forward. I responded on the record on that matter. Deputies Matthews and Leddin have spoken about important amendments. I cannot believe Deputy Boyd Barrett has just dismissed them like that, especially for someone who...
