Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (27 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Most of these amendments relate to something similar. The one amendment in Sinn Féin's name in this grouping is amendment No. 108. Perhaps the Minister of State wants to finish off on this one and come back to amendment No. 108, which has to do with the Irish language and signage.

If in future, somebody complains, he or she can...
