Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I agree with Deputies Ó Broin and Danny Healy-Rae. The Minister does want to do this. He wants to take away the embarrassment from his own backbenchers and future Government backbenchers by supporting this kind of legislation. I will not be voting for this because it would be like turkeys voting for Christmas. With the Ceann Comhairle's permission, I will mention the case of Sean...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Danny Healy-Rae: I thought I asked a very clear question. I asked if the Minister will do something about the wrong being delivered upon people in rural areas. They are being treated the same as the people the Government wants to stop coming out of towns and cities to rural areas. These people were brought up in these places all of their lives. My time is short; I have only two minutes available. When...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The Minister has not answered the question as to why the national planning framework should not be subject to the democratic decision of the elected representatives of the people. The Minister has said he will consult. He has said the Government will invite opinions and allow people to say what they think but it will be able to completely ignore that. The Government is not going to subject...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Thomas Gould: I will not repeat what other Deputies have said. I will speak to the national planning framework and the decision not to bring it before the Houses of the Oireachtas. Deputy Ó Broin made the point that backbenchers can go back to their local radio stations and newspapers and say the situation is all wrong and it is the fault of the big, bad people in An Bord Pleanála and the...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: Ar an gcéad dul síos, freagróidh mé ceisteanna an Teachta Ó Snodaigh faoin gcreat náisiúnta pleanála. Cuirtear gach dréachtchreat náisiúnta pleanála os comhair an phobail chun a chuid tuairimí a fháil. Tá sé sin scríofa ar leathanach 66 den Bhille freisin. On public consultation, we have been very clear...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: There is a democratic deficit because this is not policy. That is the fundamental point. The national policy objectives have the force of law, and there is nothing in this section that streamlines anything in this regard. The national planning framework process is in place and the Minister is simply putting into law something that was not contained in the original Act. Deputy Healy-Rae...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Níl a fhios agam ar thuig an tAire cad go díreach a bhí á rá agam mar ní dhéileálann an leasú a bhí mé ag caint faoi le leathanach 66 in aon chor. Is le leathanach 67 a dhéileálann leasú Uimh. 182. Regarding the procedure for the review of the national planning framework, before carrying out a review under section 22 the...

Fergus O'Dowd: We could.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: We could indeed. It is simply about subjecting these to democracy, and not just in the Dáil with the national planning framework. This is a theme that runs through many of our amendments all the way through this Bill and right down. At the level of development plans, we do have that. Everybody can put in submissions, the public is told, everybody gives their opinions, we hear from...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: On this group of amendments, specifically amendments Nos. 175, 176 and 177, the thing about the national planning framework is that massively affects every aspect of our lives in how our entire built environment and our general surroundings are developed and planned. The national planning framework is the key framework. In terms of the planning system, it could not be more important or more...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Fergus O'Dowd: I, too, will comment on amendments Nos. 175 to 177, inclusive, in this group. The national planning framework is hugely important and I agree with voices here on the democratic accountability for how it is dealt with locally. The national planning framework decides development in the broadest possible terms. Consider the town of Drogheda, with which the Minister is familiar. The...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (12 Jun 2024)

Steven Matthews: Amendment No. 168 provides for the deletion of the date for the review to be completed, namely 28 May 2024. It makes sense to delete that date because it has passed. I note from the most recent Government statement on the matter that the draft national planning framework will be out for consultation this month and that amendments will be made in August, with a view to publishing in...
