- Planning and Development (An Taisce) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2024)
Mairead Farrell: D’fhreastail mé ar chruinniú de chuid BÁNÚ aréir i Ros Muc agus bhí breis agus 100 duine ann. Bhí daoine ag plé cúrsaí pleanála agus bhí fearg le braith sa seomra sin. Tuigim dóibh cén fáth mar gheall nach bhfuil aon duine i gConamara in ann teach a thógáil, a cheannach nó a fháil ar...
- Planning and Development (An Taisce) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2024)
Ruairi Ó Murchú: As many of my colleagues have said, we are dealing with an absolute lack in respect of planning in rural Ireland, and services that are not up to scratch at all levels of infrastructure. We know all the issues regarding water, GPs and school transport, and deal with them from year to year. We are even seeing issues in places across urban and rural Ireland that never had problems with roads....

- Planning and Development (An Taisce) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Rural Independents for tabling this Bill and giving us an opportunity to have an important debate about housing and planning in rural Ireland. The housing crisis is as deep in rural Ireland as it is in urban Ireland. Deputy O'Donoghue and I often speak about this in committee. There is a real challenge in islands, rural Gaeltachtaí, and in those rural areas experiencing...

Mattie McGrath: We do not want it to.
- Planning and Development (An Taisce) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I am genuinely making these comments respectfully, as I accept the Deputies are raising these issues because they passionately believe in fixing planning and housing in rural Ireland, as I do. In fact, the Bill will not affect An Taisce's funding, because the funding it gets from the Government is not for its planning work. It gets no direct funding from the State for any of its planning...
- Planning and Development (An Taisce) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2024)
Martin Kenny: Rural planning issues have been around for quite a long time. I was first elected to Leitrim County Council in 2004 and An Taisce was something people talked about a lot at meetings in regard to objecting to planning and so on. However, in recent years we have not heard as much about it. The problems we have in many of these situations is the guidelines that are in place are too...
- Planning and Development (An Taisce) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2024)
Richard O'Donoghue: The whole purpose of this Bill is to pull parameters from An Taisce. We look at our local authorities and the development plans in our areas. Those plans are debated and agreed among our county councillors, who are elected in every district to represent their areas. They sort out their development plans for the growth of housing and businesses across our counties. When they go for...
- Planning and Development (An Taisce) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2024)
Alan Dillon: I thank the Acting Chair for affording me the opportunity to contribute on this Private Members' Bill on behalf of the Government. It is important to reiterate that the Government recognises the importance of having an open and transparent planning system. The inclusion of prescribed bodies in the Planning and Development Regulations 2001, as amended, is a key part of the planning process...
- Planning and Development (An Taisce) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members] (9 Oct 2024)
Catherine Connolly: I have given great leeway during this debate so far, but I am a little worried about what is happening in terms of identifying people and making allegations, albeit about an organisation. Clearly the words are getting closer and closer to identifying people and making allegations that they are not ethically correct.
