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-----

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...

- 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...
