- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2016)
Mick Wallace: The Minister said that only a small number of applications are going through the system, and that is true, but I do not know how he can argue that the changes that are being brought in will make such a dramatic increase in the numbers. The numbers will probably increase anyway because it is probably becoming more attractive for the developers. There are 27,000 permissions granted for...

Mick Wallace: -----to address the fact that there are 27,000 applications for projects on which work has not yet started?
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2016)
Mick Wallace: This process has nothing to do with that. I realise that some of these are short of infrastructure. I gave the figures for proposed projects in Dún Laoghaire yesterday. An incredible number of developers have sites ready to go and more than half of them are serviced but work on them has still not started. Will the Government act to address that? The Minister can say that he is not...
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2016)
Mick Wallace: This amendment is grouped with amendment No. 6 which proposes the substitution of the words, "A permission granted under this Part may not be extended". Can the Minister explain the logic of why if people are availing of this fast-track system they should have the luxury of sitting on an proposed project and be allowed to have the planning permission extended at a later point?

Mick Wallace: I move amendment No. 3:In page 6, to delete lines 10 to 35, and in page 7, to delete lines 1 to 22. This amendment is related to measures that the Government seems to feel will speed up the planning process. To start I will quote some comments from Gavin Daly of the geography department in National University of Ireland, Maynooth, who does not see much merit in what the Government is trying...
- Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016 [Seanad]: Report Stage (Resumed) (16 Dec 2016)
Mick Wallace: I too support the amendment. There is a little bit of misinformation about Apollo House and I regret that it is being politicised. The developer who had control of it at one stage is not sitting on it. He does not have a say in what happens to it. The history behind what is happening in Apollo House has yet to be told. I approve of the fact that it has been taken over. While it has been...

- Ceisteanna - Questions - Priority Questions: Protected Disclosures (16 Dec 2016)
Mick Wallace: At this stage, we know of ten protected disclosures, and if a quarter of what they allege is true, then we have a serious problem. When will we find out what is happening with the O'Neill report? Will an inquiry be set up or not? The Minister has the power to remove the Commissioner while the inquiry is ongoing. There will be information required and the Commissioner has control over much...
