Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
I am concerned that the intention behind the Bill will not be achieved unless the relevant local authority wants to uphold the spirit of the Bill. We should not be dependent on local authorities adhering to the spirit of the Bill, we should ensure that we legislate for its practical implementation by clearly setting out our intentions because this would remove ambiguity. We should not limit the reality of the benefit we are trying to achieve.
