- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: My core point relates to what the implications of this could be-----
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: The guidelines will be gone once the national planning statement is issued. Could that mean, in the context of the protection of built heritage, that there will be a weakening?
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: The Minister of State might clarify why that cannot be the case.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: That is not what the amendment says.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: That is one of the points I raised. The amendment would suggest otherwise.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: I appreciate that is not the intention.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: What time are we-----
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: We are concerned about the decision to extend the duration of a development plan without public participation. Is that not a necessary part of such a process for compliance with our Aarhus obligations? What is the Minister of State's view about why that is not necessary, how is this Aarhus-compliant and why is there not a need for public participation as part of the process? That is what...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defective Building Materials (15 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: 89. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government if he will provide an update on the Government progress in implementing a fire safety defects scheme that will allow full remedial works to be carried out on defective buildings; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6702/24]
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defective Building Materials (15 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: I will ask about two aspects of this. First, what will happen in the case of management companies where there are serious and known fire safety defects but the management company is not engaging? That can be very unfair on the individual homeowners and residents. As the Minister knows, management companies are not properly regulated and they need to be. What will the Minister do about...
- Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Defective Building Materials (15 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: There should be a legal obligation to declare. When someone gets a survey the surveyors generally do not start opening up the walls to see whether there is fire stopping in place. They tend not to do those kinds of invasive survey works, so there are deficiencies in that process. Given that is unethical to knowingly sell a defective property, should there not be a legal change to give...
- Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Homeless Accommodation (15 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: 142. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the immediate and urgent actions that will be taken to address the high levels of child homelessness; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6703/24]
- Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, and Local Government: Rental Sector (15 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: 140. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government the action he will take to address the consistent increases in rents for existing tenancies; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6704/24]
- Written Answers — Department of Health: Vaccination Programme (15 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: 333. To ask the Minister for Health which vaccination centres are being used in CHO9 for the MMR vaccine programme; if alternative centres will be provided for those who are unable to travel to the offered centre; the uptake of the MMR vaccine in CHO9 over the past five years, in tabular form; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [7206/24]
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: It would be helpful to deal with what the Minister of State said now and then move onto the other subgroupings, if that is okay.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: The Minister of State is not covering amendment No. 8 in this grouping; he will cover that later.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: We will deal with amendment No. 8 later. That is fine. As Deputy Ó Broin said, if we had sight of those on future days, it would help everyone. On amendment Nos. 603 and 647, the Minister of State said what is proposed is not workable, proportionate, fair, reasonable or balanced and is overtly vague. What does the Government propose to do to address the issues we raised? If it does...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (14 Feb 2024)
Cian O'Callaghan: The Minister of State did not respond to some of the points I made, so it would be good to get a response to some of those initial points. It is alarming that it seems to be the Government's view that section 46(2)(b), which is the status quo in legislation, is any way acceptable. Clearly, there is a complete planning failure with regard to Gaeltacht communities in what is happening right...
