Seanad debates

Second Interim Report of the Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain Planning Matters and Payments: Statements.
For example, as Senator Brennan alluded to earlier, a debate is raging in Adare about whether the village can cope with the dramatic expansion in housing and so on envisaged under the new draft development plan. There is still a great deal of congestion in the village because the Adare bypass has not yet been built. Draft development plans are published every six years and I wonder whether it would be better to build bypasses first so that their impact on the community could be assessed and zoning decisions would be better informed. Further discussions will take place in Adare regarding the development plan and they should be monitored closely.
