Catherine Connolly: D'fhan mé go dtí go raibh an díospóireacht thart ach ní ionann cearta teanga agus leibhéal maorlathais eile. In the interest of clarity, it is not correct to say that language rights are the same as an extra layer of bureaucracy. That is not correct. There are rights under the Constitution and the Official Languages Act. For the record, it is not the same as...

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

Steven Matthews: I will speak to amendments Nos. 29 and 144, both of which are in my name. Amendment No. 29 proposes to include in section 2 a statement to the effect that the national biodiversity action plan has the meaning assigned to it by the Wildlife (Amendment) Act 2023. The Minister's amendment No. 118, in Part 3, probably covers that adequately. I am merely seeking clarification. The Minister's...

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

Steven Matthews: This amendment is in the name of my party colleague Deputy Ó Cathasaigh. As a result, I am able to speak to it. I will move it if Deputy Ó Cathasaigh is not here when the time comes. Amendment No. 39 provides a definition of "sustainable development". We have had various takes over many years on people's interpretation of what sustainable development involves. In the context...

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

Michael Healy-Rae: Every one of us in this House appreciates the Irish language being promoted, appreciates the Gaeltachts and appreciates that resources continued to be invested in this regard. When it comes to planning, however, it is definitely an issue that causes consternation for planners when paperwork is demanded to be completed in both English and Irish. That is something in other fields that we...

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

Darragh O'Brien: Ar an bpointe deireanach, b’fhéidir nár chuala an Teachta cad a bhíomar ag plé sa choiste faoin ár dteanga. Aontaíonn gach Teachta atá mar bhall den choiste go bhfuil sí an-tábhachtach ar fad. Cuirfidh mé síos dhá leasuithe tábhachtacha ar son ceantair Gaeltachta ar fud an Stáit chun pleanáil speisialta a chur...

Darragh O'Brien: We are discussing them all now. That is fine. Those amendments were tabled by Deputies Ó Broin, Gould and Ó Snodaigh. Amendment Nos. 29 and 144 were tabled by Deputy Matthews and amendment No. 39 was tabled by Deputy Ó Cathasaigh. Amendments Nos. 14 to 16, inclusive, 18, 20 and 32 all seek to change English terms used in respect of an coimisiún pleanála to...

Eoin Ó Broin: I move amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 13: In paragraph (b), after “Act” to insert the following: “where the prescription of either publication in paragraph (a) or (b) above, prioritises the effective accessibility of the publication given factors including its circulation figures in the functional area of the authority concerned, the overall costs associated with...

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

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will try to address some of the issues relating to the Irish language and the Official Languages Act 2003. When the latter came into being, it was agreed that the titles of new State bodies or offices should be in Irish only. I can understand the logic is that the positions held by people within those institutions would also be in Irish only. That is the effect of these amendments....

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

Darragh O'Brien: It is Part 17.

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

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: It is part 17. I am sorry; I will have a look at that. One or two of these go beyond just making sure that Irish language titles are used. Amendment No. 17 states that competency in the Irish language would mean level B2. The reason for this is that it falls into being in some of the later amendments. In particular, amendment No. 718 in my name addresses the specifics of an oral hearing...

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

Cian O'Callaghan: On my amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 597, I would welcome more clarity from the Minister on the definition of "statutory undertaker". This is a significant section in the context of State authority development emergency orders effectively allowing for emergency works. I am not exactly clear on the significance of that wording. If the Minister could provide an explanation, it would be...
