Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Rugby World Cup 2023: Discussion (12 Jul 2017)

Catherine Murphy: We are all supportive of the bid to host the tournament. I echo some of the criticisms of the way it was legislated for. We need to look at the risks. We can certainly see where the benefits are, not least that it is an all-Ireland bid. There are many intangibles, and the key area is risk. Financial risk is one aspect but there are all sorts of other things that have to be considered,...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2017: Second Stage (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Murphy: I shall be making some of the same points that other Deputies have made. Here we go again. It is the last week of term and we are presented with a piece of emergency legislation. If it is not planning, or should I say development, legislation it is Irish Water legislation. That has been the constant at the end of each Dáil term. At this point I believe it is being deliberately held...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Murphy: I wish to qualify that somewhat. I believe that would need to be specified and limited. I am not opposed to the amendment but I think developers could take liberty in using this instead of, for example, seeking alterations. It would need to pertain to the conditions rather than the actual planning permission itself as otherwise, I believe it would be used as a way of circumventing the type...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Murphy: I move amendment No. 8:In page 3, line 24, to delete "5 years, or until 31 December 2021" and substitute "2 years, or until 31 December 2019". This amendment is similar to the previous one. These planning permissions were given in 2007 or prior to that. That is ten years. There are people living in housing estates that commenced in 2007. For understandable reasons, the builder was not...

Catherine Murphy: A whole series of additional works have to be done in advance of local area plans commencing now, as opposed to planning permissions granted in 2007 or before. Some of them make sure we do not repeat the mistakes of the past by building on land which is prone to flooding and other things, causing problems into the future which have to be remedied at great expense. This amendment gives the...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2017: Committee and Remaining Stages (13 Jul 2017)

Catherine Murphy: Amendment No. 11 is very important. I am aware of a few examples of developments in respect of which nothing has happened in the past five years even though there was an extension of duration. As for the idea that another five years would be given in such an instance, again, I make the point that where some work has taken place on such a development, it means that not only are the people...
