Terence Flanagan (Dublin North East, Fine Gael)

There has been much bad planning in towns and villages across the country. Many housing estates have been left unfinished with no proper facilities. It is important, therefore, these guidelines are drawn up and issued as soon as possible. In one estate in the Dublin North-East constituency a town centre was to be built and a DART station brought on-line but neither has happened. Will the Minister guarantee that the provision of proper facilities will be included in these new guidelines and be put on a statutory footing?
