Victor Boyhan: With regard to the national planning statements, the Minister of State confirmed to the House, and that was new to me, so I thank him, that the Attorney General is now reviewing the draft rural housing guidelines. 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?

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. Clearly, the Attorney General will advise the Government. That is his call and his business. 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...

Victor Boyhan: I intend to move amendments Nos. 90, 94, 96, 103, 107 and 110. I do not propose to speak on any of them because they are self-explanatory. We will deal with them in due course. Colleagues will have read the amendments. I will leave it at that. On the national planning statements, I take up where the Leader left off. I thank her for her ongoing support for one-off rural housing. She...

Victor Boyhan: I concur with most of what Senators Higgins and Warfield have said. There is no point repeating it. I would like to move amendments Nos 78, 81 and 84. I will explain the rationale behind those amendments now. Section 23 deals with procedure for reviewing the national planning framework. Amendment No. 78 seeks to delete line 14 on page 69 and insert the phrase “local authorities...

Victor Boyhan: I fully support the amendment. Senator Currie has been very consistent on this issue for a long time in the Seanad. It makes absolute sense. There is a huge amount of unregulated telecommunications infrastructure around the country. In my local authority area of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, there has been a constant call for strategic grid mapping of this infrastructure. We see it on...
