Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: No. Some of that comes from the previous version and the standard way in which the relevant pieces of legislation are ordinarily referred to, but it is clear what each one of them is so I do not have an issue with that.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (15 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The table in the previous legislation obviously referenced a load of directives that are not included. Which ones are not included in the new Bill? I do not need an answer today. Could the Minister give me the reason they are not included?

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services (14 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am glad the Minister of State is in the Chamber. I know from having been contacted by representatives from WALK that there have quite a few frantic telephone calls since I tabled this Topical Issue matter and since the board of WALK took the decision to close its residential service. That is what it was moving towards. WALK is an organisation in Walkinstown that is aimed at empowering...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Disability Services (14 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Go raibh maith agat. I think WALK will be happy with the contribution and the commitments that have been given. There is an urgency about this. One of the facilities, which has seven beds, is not available at the moment because WALK could not wait. It has seven places available and the other seven places may come back in the near future. As I said, WALK could not wait on the HSE to take...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: 192. To ask the Minister for Culture, Heritage and the Gaeltacht the reason 18% of the board positions for which she is responsible are vacant, as well as four chairperson positions; if a systemic issue is impeding her Department from filling these positions; and she plans to have a full compliment of appointees in place to deliver the accountability, oversight and decision-making required...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The first three are somewhat related. This is where the confusion comes from - the others have nothing to do with planning. Some are to do with standard requirements for staffing. That is where the problem is. They are all grouped. We will have to go through them individually or grouped where they are related. I thank the Minister of State for giving us the explanation for the first...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is complicated having to jump around to the different amendments. We finished the meeting last night speaking on amendment No. 9. I will try to stick to the ones we are dealing with now and maybe come back to the ones we have skipped over. In the main, we have been talking about the language impact assessment. A lot of people would presume the best place for this provision would be...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister of State was quoting from the development plans as to what the obligations were for section 46(2)(b). There already is an obligation that in some cases has failed miserably in most Gaeltacht areas. Part of the frustration of Gaeltacht communities is that they will be left in limbo without the developments which would allow many of those families to stay within the Gaeltacht,...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I can have a stab at dealing with these three topics, which are in some ways totally separate. We have already addressed some of the subject matter. Amendment No. 890 outlines how the language impact assessment would work. It is quite specific. I am not precious about the language but the intent exists. I would be happy to work with the Department if it wished to adopt the concept of...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: On the amendment Deputy O'Callaghan mentioned that deals with Údarás na Gaeltachta working as an approved housing body, this is not just something we have dreamt up as a fix for a problem. We have met with representatives from Údarás na Gaeltachta in committee a number of times. In fairness, they recently announced that a pilot scheme is up and running and they are...
