Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Jul 2022)

Seán Canney: I welcome the opportunity to speak on this Bill. I want to concentrate on planning first and what is really happening in that area.

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022 [Seanad]: Instruction to Committee (13 Jul 2022)

Seán Canney: I add my voice of concern to the fact that so many of these amendments are coming in at such a late stage and are very much outside the scope of the original Bill. At last week's Business Committee meeting, we allowed an extra hour for discussion and debate on the Bill but that was before these amendments came in. There is a case to be answered regarding why this is being done in such a...

We need to set standards that are fair for both the renter and landlord. A rent authority would probably...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Disability Matters: Inclusive Transport Schemes: Discussion (7 Jul 2022)

Seán Canney: I welcome the four witnesses. I know Mr. Fox well. Mr. Carty encapsulated everything that is positive in his last contribution. It is important to say that we need to get people to where Mr. Carty is, where he is living independently. What has happened in the past is that there were schemes that unfortunately fell away. We now have, as Ombudsman and Information Commissioner, Peter...

Seán Canney: I am delighted to get the opportunity to speak on the resolution the Minister has brought before the House today. As a person who is from Tuam and who went to school in Tuam, this is an issue that is close to my heart in many ways. It has created a sense of a stain on or shadow over Tuam as a town. Tuam is a very good town. It is the capital town in our county of Galway and has the finest...
