Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed) (24 Jan 2023)

Paddy Burke: I have two further questions. The first relates to anomalies in the planning laws. There can be shortcomings or whatever in legislation and regulations that are brought forward.

There is a need for better co-ordination between local authorities and the ESB and the...

Seanad: Immigration Bill, 2002: Committee Stage. (18 Dec 2002)

Paddy Burke: The Minister said that Ireland is the only country in the European Union that does not have carrier liability legislation.
