Eoin Ó Broin: This week, we heard the heartbreaking personal testimony of Micheline Walsh and her husband, Richard. They are in their late 70s, have been overholding for more than a month following an eviction notice and currently have nowhere to go.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Regulations: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (11 May 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank everyone for their presentations. Everyone is in favour of bus stops, deposit return machines and street furniture, but the trick is how these are implemented and that is sometimes not as straightforward as we think. I have specific questions on the implementation of these measures and ensuring that they work right, because we are all broadly supportive of them. Will the Minister...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Regulations: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (11 May 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: Apologies, but one of the questions I asked in the first round was not answered. I presume the reason for this is just to speed up the process by which the bus stops, vending machines and street furniture can be implemented. In terms of time, what is the actual time saving from the exemptions? The second is with respect to street furniture and advertising. Certain drinks advertisers,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Regulations: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (11 May 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: On that, we have a bizarre situation in Dublin at the moment where planning permission had been previously granted for telephones, back when not all of us had mobile phones. Those structures still exist and are there, but they no longer have telephones on them. They have commercial advertisements, and even though the planning was granted for the purpose of having a payphone, they are now...
