Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I would like the guidance of the Acting Chair. I would like to comment on what the Minister of State has said about the Bill. It is not specific to the amendment but it covers it. Is that in order?

Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I thank the Minister of State very much. I have not seen the Department's document and I would like to do so. It will be helpful. I scanned the Bill and the amendments today and I saw that I have two or three more opportunities to discuss the Valletta Convention. I do not want to Valletta myself out of it but I have opportunities to raise yet again the Valletta Convention in the...

Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I want to speak briefly on amendments Nos. 10, 11 and 12. It makes complete sense. The National Museum of Ireland has an amazing track record and would have been a consultee in all of this in the past or up to now. I note that the Minister of State has done a great deal of reform in the Heritage Council. This council was on its knees a number of years ago but the Minister of State got it...

Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I move amendment No. 13: In page 41, between lines 3 and 4, to insert the following: “Record of protected monuments 19.(1) It will be a requirement of Planning Authorities to include the register of protected monuments in the appendix of their City/County Development Plans. (2) It will be a requirement of Planning Authorities to reference protected monuments on their City/County...

Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: We have discussed this proposal previously. It seeks to introduce a new section relating to protected monuments. It will require planning authorities to refer to the protected monuments in their city or county development plans in both their written statement and their development plan. This is not new; it reflects the current situation. At our previous debate on the Bill, I brought in...

Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Report Stage (Resumed) (28 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I am not happy with that. The Minister of State is not telling us, for example, that he is committed to driving that through. He could have said I made an excellent point and that he, as Minister of State with responsibility for heritage, will drive that through in the planning and development Bill, but he did not say that. We have to be pragmatic. Today, we are debating the History and...

Victor Boyhan: I second the amendment.

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Planning Issues (22 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I welcome the Minister of State and my Commencement matter relates to the issue of new rural housing guidelines. As she will be aware, the Government has promised these guidelines for a number of years. I have a letter dated 9 May 2017 in front of me from the then Minister who promised that there would be rural guidelines. I am sure the Minister of State will also be aware of the Flemish...

Seanad: Nithe i dtosach suíonna - Commencement Matters: Planning Issues (22 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I thank the Minister of State. I agree with her. I did not believe I would have here today a Minister of State who lives in the same constituency as me. Let me quote the Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown development plan, on which we are ad idem. It states it should be the policy of the planning authority to consider new proposals for one-off housing in areas outside the boundaries of...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (22 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I thank the Cathaoirleach, and thank the Deputy Leader for setting out the proposed Order of Business. I want to start off by thanking Senator Catherine Ardagh, and former Senator, Averil Power, the CEO of the Irish Cancer Society, for organising the Daffodil Day coffee morning in the House this morning. It was very well attended, and I thank all involved, and the Irish Cancer Society for...

Seanad: Historic and Archaeological Heritage Bill 2023: Report and Final Stages (22 Mar 2023)

Victor Boyhan: I move amendment No. 1: In page 29, between lines 15 and 16, to insert the following: “Valletta Convention 3.(1) Nothing in this Act shall violate the definitions, principles and requirements outlined in the Valletta Convention to which Ireland is a signatory. (2) The Minister and the Department shall be required to ensure that all definitions, principles and requirements laid out...
