Cian O'Callaghan: I move amendment No. 10: In page 5, line 30, to delete “he or she has” and substitute “they have”. These two small amendments are about gender-inclusive language. Has another vote been called in the Chamber?

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development (Amendment) (Large-scale Residential Development) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (1 Dec 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: The amendments are about gender-inclusive language and being in line with the UN guidelines. I am sure it is not the intention of those who drafted this legislation to exclude anyone based on gender identity, but if these amendments are not accepted, that is exactly what this Bill will do. We are approaching the end of 2021 and it is time for our legislation to be in compliance with the UN...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development (Amendment) (Large-scale Residential Development) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (1 Dec 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: I will reply briefly. I appreciate the Minister's response and his suggestion of a way to deal with this but the language I have used is internationally accepted as being inclusive. I appreciate that the Minister has different advice on which he has to act, so I will not press the amendments. However, I want to see this matter being addressed. I am happy that the Minister is committed to...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development (Amendment) (Large-scale Residential Development) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (1 Dec 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: Amendment No. 41 is consistent with my other amendments. If it is accepted, it will delete the lines that prohibit a local authority from only making records available at the point a planning application goes in. It allows local authorities to do that. I reiterate the point Deputy Ó Broin made. Some of my amendments are prescriptive. If the Minister wants to look at the issue...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development (Amendment) (Large-scale Residential Development) Bill 2021: Committee Stage (1 Dec 2021)

Cian O'Callaghan: I know this from my local area, where there are some large planning applications. I can think of one where there was much knowledge in the local community about landslides in the area and about watercourses. The developer and the planning authority did not pick up on these. They were not in the pre-planning process that took place. It all resulted in the developer not getting a successful...
