Mick Wallace: I too support the amendment. There is a little bit of misinformation about Apollo House and I regret that it is being politicised. The developer who had control of it at one stage is not sitting on it. He does not have a say in what happens to it. The history behind what is happening in Apollo House has yet to be told. I approve of the fact that it has been taken over. While it has been...

Mick Wallace: I move amendment No. 3:In page 6, to delete lines 10 to 35, and in page 7, to delete lines 1 to 22.

Mick Wallace: This process has nothing to do with that. I realise that some of these are short of infrastructure. I gave the figures for proposed projects in Dún Laoghaire yesterday. An incredible number of developers have sites ready to go and more than half of them are serviced but work on them has still not started. Will the Government act to address that? The Minister can say that he is not...
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2016)
Mick Wallace: This amendment is grouped with amendment No. 6 which proposes the substitution of the words, "A permission granted under this Part may not be extended". Can the Minister explain the logic of why if people are availing of this fast-track system they should have the luxury of sitting on an proposed project and be allowed to have the planning permission extended at a later point?
