Victor Boyhan: I warmly welcome the Minister. I thank him for setting our some of the issues and difficulties, which I do not propose to discuss in detail.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Issues Impacting Apartments and Multi-Unit Developments (19 Apr 2018)

Victor Boyhan: I thank Mr. Rouse and Mr. Maher for a very informative presentation. I have been a director of two property management companies and everything that has been said resonates with me.

We had to beat them out of the...

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Architectural Heritage (24 Apr 2018)

Victor Boyhan: I warmly welcome the Minister of State, Deputy Mitchell O'Connor, to the House because I am aware of her track record with the built heritage and architecture of the county, particularly her work in Dún Laoghaire but also in Dalkey, Killiney and Shankill all the way up to Monkstown, Blackrock and Booterstown. The Acting Chairman will be aware of it too.

Seanad: Commencement Matters: Architectural Heritage (24 Apr 2018)

Victor Boyhan: I am just coming to that. I would also say Dundrum as well. Last week, I received a substantial number of boxes of architectural drawings and pictures relating to Dún Laoghaire which were done by the late Mr. Stephen Devaney. I have been in touch with the council and, if it will not be deposited with the council, it will be deposited in Merrion Square at the National Inventory of...

I am delighted that the Minister of State has shared that two more sets of fieldwork are to be undertaken in 2018, which is very positive. I acknowledge the conservation grants that we have received from the...
