Richard Boyd Barrett: To summarise my point, the imperative to deliver social and affordable housing has to work all the way through the planning system. The Government has failed to deliver social and affordable housing. It is as simple as that. We have a dire crisis. It is not getting any better. In fact, rents and house prices are becoming more unaffordable by the day. Even when the Government trumpets...

Darragh O'Brien: Ba mhaith liom cheist a fhreagairt ón Teachta O'Callaghan. I am not accepting these amendments. The national planning framework deals with the national planning system. When we get to Part 7, we will deal with the affordable housing provision. We could have a general discussion on housing but I want to focus on a couple of points. Housing output is very important and it is...

Eoin Ó Broin: Unfortunately, the Minister did not have time to address the key issues in the two amendments I focused on in my remarks. One has to ask oneself why the Government is afraid of putting the NPF to a vote in the Houses of the Oireachtas. City and county development plans and local area plans are voted on by elected local government members. The NPF is the overarching plan that sits on top of...

- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)
Steven Matthews: I welcome amendment No. 140, which seeks to substitute "the integration of the pursuit and achievement of the national climate objective and National Biodiversity Action Plan" into the national planning framework. That enshrines it at the very highest level in our planning and plan-led system. That is a real strengthening of the wording in this Bill to protect climate and the environment....

Cian O'Callaghan: Yesterday, when I was speaking on this group of amendments I raised a number of points, especially in relation to amendment No. 142 and the need to put as a key objective of the national planning framework the provision of a sufficient amount of affordable housing to be available to buy and rent. The points I raised yesterday were not addressed by the Minister in his response. Will he now...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Nílim chun dul trí leasú Uimh. 125 arís. Dhein mé é sin cheana. Tá díomá orm nach bhfuil an tAire ag glacadh leis an teideal Gaeilge sa chás seo. Díreoidh mé isteach ar leasuithe Uimh. 145, 149, 154, 158 agus 165. All of these amendments are to strengthen the legislation in regard to the Irish language and ensure that at every...
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I am a strong supporter of statutory plans and national planning frameworks. One of the important things about them is that they effectively have the impact of law. We had detailed debates about the statutory nature of the national planning frameworks. It is remarkable that in this legislation the national planning framework is to be approved by the Government and not by the Houses of the...

Richard Boyd Barrett: Does the Minister not respond first?
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)
Catherine Connolly: I made an exception for Deputy Boyd Barrett because he was late and I let him start. The Minister should really get a chance to answer the questions and then Deputy Ó Broin will get the last word. Each Deputy will have seven minutes and the best practice is that they are in before the Minister and then he will have seven minutes. All Deputies will get two minutes, as will the Minister...
