- Seanad: Planning and Development and Foreshore (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Dec 2022)
Alice-Mary Higgins: I must rise again and be really clear on these amendments. The Minister of State did not really address my concerns or my direct questions regarding who will be performing the various functions that are listed.

- Seanad: Planning and Development and Foreshore (Amendment) Bill 2022: Committee and Remaining Stages (8 Dec 2022)
Alice-Mary Higgins: I thank the Cathaoirleach for that.

In fact, I did not raise the issue on the first few occasions. However, now, having raised it, I do not believe that it should be...

To be very clear, I am pressing...
