- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I hope Mr. Hogan and his team have an open ear as they finalise their amendments on any of these issues. In terms of going beyond just raising some concerns, are there either forms of language or ways of measuring this that could assist in improving it further? I take Mr. Hussey's point that it is an improvement on what was there previously but, thinking about Dublin again, there is a...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I have one final question which might act as a segue onto what Deputy Leddin is likely to raise, and rightly so. There is also an interaction between compact growth and balanced regional development as it is set out. Has the advisory committee a view on how those things should best interact? Are there areas within the current draft where it would like to see further movement or change to...

Eoin Ó Broin: I will make an observation and then put two questions to Mr. Hogan. I have a lot of sympathy with Deputy Leddin’s point. My colleagues from the regional cities will be making exactly the same point. I want to add an additional observation for Mr. Hogan and his team and it builds on my questions to the Climate Change Advisory Council. It is that there is also an issue about where...

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank Ms Walsh for that. I might conclude with a request for whomever is on the next committee, because none of us may be here at that stage. The version the Department gave us after our previous meeting, which included the tracked changes, was brilliant. It made our lives so much easier. I really urge the Department to provide the members of the committee under the Thirty-fourth...

Eoin Ó Broin: What is the total cost between the two options as opposed to just the difference?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: For purposes of clarity, the comparison is between a serviced site at the edge of Adamstown versus an unserviced greenfield site in Leixlip. I do not mean it is those actual locations, but is that the comparison?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: -----and what the Taoiseach is presiding over. No matter how much they try to disentangle from each other, Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Green Party are one crowd. They might as well rename themselves and get a new party because that is what they are. The Taoiseach does not want to take on the Greens because they get ministerial posts and the posts of Taoiseach and Tánaiste for...

Simon Harris: Sorry now, hang on a second. The Deputy has to give me a bit of a chance. I was there and indeed when was I driving by on the road, I saw this very large portacabin-type thing - I do not know what it was - with Deputy Healy-Rae's face emblazened across it asking people to vote-----
