Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill [Seanad] 2009: Report and Final Stages
4:00 pm
Ciarán Cuffe (Dún Laoghaire, Green Party)
I empathise with the Deputy on the concerns regarding the time limits today. We have had many hours of robust debate on Committee Stage, which was very useful.
I rebut the assertion that this legislation diminishes local democracy; I believe it reinforces it. It puts people ahead of developers in the making of the development plan.
