- Seanad: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (16 Jul 2024)
Alice-Mary Higgins: I am keen to move towards votes as well but it is important to mention the powers to vary were in the 2000 Act. In the powers to vary in this Act, there are differences and the Office of the Planning Regulator is an issue in relation to that. That is completely legitimate. It is not about any individual but about concerns we have about the powers in section 62. I was not going to raise it...

- Seanad: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (16 Jul 2024)
Alice-Mary Higgins: There is an issue here, which is that we have been told this is plan-led development. The framework is plan-led development; the Minister's statement I regard as not really as credible as the planning framework. The language, "national planning policies and measures", sounds really weighty and authoritative and so on, but if we track it back to section 25, it is literally just a way of...

Alice-Mary Higgins: I wish to indicate our support for Senator Warfield's amendment. I apologise as I had mentioned 5,000 nightclubs being reduced to 85. This was an obvious exaggeration as the decrease was 500 to 85, which is still extraordinarily alarming. We will support the amendment put by the Labour Party Senators regarding the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Irish language in Gaeltacht...

Alice-Mary Higgins: Amendment No. 117 seeks to strengthen the language around social development in a similar manner to amendment No. 65.
