Charlie McConalogue (Donegal North East, Fianna Fail)

I commend Deputy Niall Collins on tabling the motion, covering many important planning issues. There have been failures in planning in the past and it is important to have a well-regulated and transparent system in the future.

I thank the Minister of State, Deputy Jan O'Sullivan, and the Minister, Deputy Hogan, for being here today. In particular, I welcome the Minister, Deputy Hogan back to the political fray.
