- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (6 Nov 2024)
John Cummins: Many Senators in this Chamber are very passionate about the issue of school places for children with additional needs. In my teaching career before I came into this House, I had the opportunity to see how it really works in practice and it works well. My own school had three ASD classes and those students were fully integrated with the wider school population in the teaching of all the main...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)
John Cummins: I will focus more on that last conversation and also Mr. Hogan’s opening statement. The issues raised in the submission included capacity constraints and the supply of zoned land. In light of the conversation we had about housing targets – we are well aware of the hierarchy of the MPF down to the RSES and to the local authorities' development plans and we are also acutely...

John Cummins: The other area I spoke about was the metropolitan area strategic plans, MASPs, and how they were designated. Originally they were handed down by the Department and the regional assemblies did not have scope to be able to adjust those. This is a bone of contention for me and rightly so. It is not a parochial issue. It relates to Waterford and how Tramore, which is 8 km out the road, is not...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)
John Cummins: I am not hearing that the regional assemblies do have the ability to be able to make the change and I am not hearing from the witness that she will say that such a common sense change should be made in this instance. In my view, it was an error that it was never included in the first place. Anyone who has any knowledge of Waterford knows that Tramore essentially operates as a suburb of...

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)
John Cummins: I agree. I will not talk about any specific area but we all know there are areas in the country without sufficient zoned land. Is Mr. Hogan saying for that to happen without following through MPF into RSES, into local development plans, the best case is 12 to 18 months out the other side of the process? Is that fair?

We members have all worked well together, across all parties and none. I also thank the officials and Ministers who have served in the Department. It certainly has been a...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (23 Oct 2024)
John Cummins: I again raise the issue of a debate on national aviation policy. I have asked five or six times at this stage for the Minister for Transport, Deputy Ryan, or the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless, to come into the House. In light of comments the Minister of State, Deputy Lawless, made in the Dáil Chamber last week, I would like it scheduled for the week we return after the mid-term...
