- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (21 Feb 2023)
Victor Boyhan: That is a really interesting take from today. That is what I want to say. There were common asks between LAMA and the AILG, one of which concerns section 142 of the draft Bill. This relates to Part 8 . I will give a commitment to the witnesses that I will pursue that matter in the Seanad. It is a very valid reason. I am very familiar with the Part 8 process. That was an ask from the...

Victor Boyhan: I will conclude by saying Councillor Sheahan should mobilise his forces, councillors and organisations. The councillor can influence the change and he will see what he is advocating for bedded down in the legislation in these Houses.

- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (16 Feb 2023)
Victor Boyhan: I again raise the issue of Inland Fisheries Ireland, IFI. I acknowledge the enormous work Senator Kyne has done on this issue. He is exceptionally exercised about it, and rightly so. I take this opportunity to renew our call to the Minister to come before the House. I do not think there is any division in the House regarding this request. It is important that we unify in this House, look...
- Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (15 Feb 2023)
Victor Boyhan: I refer to the issue raised by my colleague Senator Kyne regarding Inland Fisheries Ireland.

- Seanad: Domestic Violence (Amendment) Bill 2023: Second Stage (15 Feb 2023)
Victor Boyhan: Before we proceed I wish to remind Senators that on the Order of Business this morning we agreed this item would adjourn at 5 p.m. I am conscious the Minister of State needs time to come back to make a statement and I am conscious the proposer needs to speak also. I am also conscious that Senators Conway, Chambers, Ahearn and Joe O'Reilly have yet to speak. Sharing is a suggestion....
