Joe Higgins (Dublin West, Socialist Party)

I seek the adjournment of the Dáil to discuss the decision by the Government not to reduce the fees paid to lawyers at the planning tribunal; the implications of this decision for the taxpayers of the State in terms of exorbitant costs into the future; and to afford the Tánaiste and Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform an opportunity to apologise to Dáil Éireann for his criticism of the costs of the tribunal when he set the level of fees.
