Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: That is no problem at all. I was beginning to wonder whether some of the Deputies were proposing the community gardens should be placed on roadways, based on the way the conversation was going. I thought that was a very radical suggestion. Some radical environmentalists subscribe to that idea of guerilla gardening, so perhaps that is where that discussion was going. Returning to the...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I welcome these amendments, particularly that relating to community gardens. Many moons ago, when I was only a youngster, there were allotments in Sandymount opposite the Protestant church on St. John's Road. Bit by bit, the older men were leaving the allotments.

Steven Matthews: I will speak to amendment No. 113, 123 and amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 220. Amendment No. 113 is the definition based on work that my colleague Deputy Ó Cathasaigh had done in respect of community gardens and allotments. I welcome the Minister's introduction of that definition in amendment No. 357. Amendments Nos. 354 to 357, inclusive, cover the matter quite well. The purpose...
