Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

The Bill being presented and being complained about is to be rushed through in three and a half hours without the explanatory memoranda sought by Deputy Fleming or the Committee on Procedure and Privileges. This is a planning Bill - if a planning applicant came in at the last minute with additional information that was two and a half times the size of the original planning application, we would be going to An Bord Pleanála with it.
