Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Cl?ona Kimber:
Just because people object does not mean they are wrong. Not three or four streets over from us here we have one of the longest Georgian stretches in Dublin which is marred by the fact that half of it was knocked down to build the ESB premises. There were a lot of objectors then. History will tell us who was on the right side of that.
I fully agree with Senator Boyhan. Just because people object does not mean they are wrong. It is a democratic right for citizens to put forward their views. It may ultimately result in a better decision.
