I am here to make the best case for Mr. Dunne, the president of the AILG, and all its members, of all...

That is important and is progress. We had not heard about it before. What is the likely timeframe for this? Is it envisaged to be for the whole summer?
- Seanad: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (16 Jul 2024)
Victor Boyhan: It is an important point to make and to follow up because the Minister of State said it and it is progress. At least we are another stage along the road.

In line with the Minister of State's response, however, I reiterate my call that the message has to go out loud and clear and it would be...
