Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

National Planning Framework: Discussion

9:30 am

Mr. Paul Hogan:

I know there was a relatively short time for the presentation and that we exceeded it. On the issue of social disadvantage, under the planning for people heading, social disadvantage and how to tackle it is a key element. I covered that under the general heading of society and quality of life. Certainly in our analysis of the country and how we would approach the strategy, the issue of social cohesion is really important. If people feel they are being left behind, they are not part of society and cannot participate, there are all sorts of consequences. There is even a touch of that in very recent election results.
