Select Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government: Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2016)

Eoin Ó Broin: I shall speak to my amendments in this grouping. I made the point on Second Stage that I supported section 20. I accept the Minister's outline on Second Stage that the provision is necessary for the overall planning process but I have two concerns. First, I did not believe there were adequate opportunities for all relevant stakeholders, including all of the NGOs and members of the public,...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government: Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2016)

Select Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government: Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Bill 2016: Committee Stage (Resumed) (13 Dec 2016)
