- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)
Danny Healy-Rae: I am very concerned about the whole process we are going through here tonight. It clearly does not demonstrate any genuine will to help people to get planning permission in rural areas. Indeed, there is little to suggest there is any help forthcoming for people who want to build in urban areas. With regard to the two points I highlighted previously, there are amendments that propose...
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)
Seán Ó Fearghaíl: Maybe the Minister of State could offer some clarity on the point that several Members raised on urban-generated planning demand. How can the son or daughter of a landowner who has always lived in the country and whose family may have been there for generations be accused of creating urban-generated planning demand when they are not urban?

- Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)
Alan Dillon: What we are doing is ensuring we have a Bill that is fit for purpose in the here and now. The existing legislation is 24 years old. By enhancing the policy, the national planning statements and the national planning framework, we are coherently recalibrating and rebalancing what we need to do in our planning system, which is really important. Everyone should have a right to live and work...

Alan Dillon: It is the planners who are actually trained and qualified to ensure they implement policy. I have never seen a politician, be it a councillor or Deputy, make an assessment of a planning application. They are not technically qualified to do so. Today we are addressing the issues within the Bill, not the issues in Kerry County Council. The national planning statements replace section 28 and...
