Seanad: Regulation of Providers of Building Works and Building Control (Amendment) Bill 2022 : Committee Stage (31 May 2022)

Rebecca Moynihan: Amendment No. 10 is very similar and effectively seeks to do the same. We support Sinn Féin's amendment, particularly as Sinn Féin designates and specifies the national building control office. This was also raised in the Dáil. It is a very dangerous precedent effectively to have a lobby group serve as regulator under this legislation. We see today from FOI requests that...

Rebecca Moynihan: I move amendment No. 32: In page 48, between lines 10 and 11, to insert the following: "(i) contravention of the Building Control Regulations 1997 to 2021.".

The amendment seeks to enable a person to make a complaint to the registrar in the case of a contravention of the Building Control...

Seanad: Competition (Amendment) Bill 2022: Second Stage (26 May 2022)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Minister of State for outlining the provisions of the Bill and its transposition into Irish law of EU legislation. The Labour Party broadly welcomes the Bill and the intention behind it to tackle anti-competitive practice, for instance, where businesses engage in price-fixing and other breaches of competition laws. Like workers, consumers must be adequately protected throughout...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Review and Consolidation of Planning Legislation: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (26 May 2022)

Rebecca Moynihan: I thank the Department's officials for the presentation and for coming in to explain this to us today. I have a couple of questions and a couple of observations. The Planning and Development Act 2000 now runs to 715 pages and the supporting regulations run to 609 pages. These are extremely complicated. Even today, I was looking at a Bill related to the Planning and Development Act and...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Review and Consolidation of Planning Legislation: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (26 May 2022)

Rebecca Moynihan: Last night, I attempted to download the chief executive's report on a development plan. My computer would not even download it. It just froze. The report was 900 pages long. That is not accessible to anybody who has not done this before. Such people will not be able to read and get through something like that and pick out what will actually impact them and their area. That is a separate...

Seanad: An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business (24 May 2022)

Seanad: Address to Seanad Éireann by US Congressman Richard Neal (24 May 2022)

Rebecca Moynihan: We welcome our distinguished guests and friends from the United States, in particular the ambassador, H.E. Ms Cronin, and Congressman Neal's words of solidarity. In 1998 when the Good Friday Agreement was signed everybody knew it was not an end game. What it did was provide a framework for a bigger job of a peace process. It may have been Sunningdale for slow learners, in the immortal...
