Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015: Report Stage (Resumed) (8 Jul 2015)

Dessie Ellis: ...plead with the Minister of State, Deputy Coffey, to consider the amendment. He knows, as he has dealt with local authorities over the years, that we have had lots of problems with local authority land, whether in-fills, regeneration or PPPs.

Topical Issue Debate: Light Rail Projects (18 Apr 2018)

Dessie Ellis: ...of consultation on this project over the years. There were very contentious consultations before the project was scrapped and put on the long finger in 2011 but the current proposal regarding the land of Na Fianna is the most contentious I have seen.
