Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage (8 Jul 2025)

Thomas Gould: I sat in the housing committee with the Minister of State last year when the planning Bill was pushed through.

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Community Development Projects (10 Jul 2025)

Thomas Gould: I thank the Minister for his response but, unfortunately, once again there is nothing there for Ballyvolane. He made the point there has been no application. I have been hearing about a community centre in Ballyvolane for decades. I have attended meetings. How was a community centre not given funding or prioritised in all that time? Over 2,000 houses are planned for the Ballyvolane area...
