Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)

I support Senator Brian Hayes in his call for the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche, to return to this House and revisit the guidelines for residential development. I recently attended a meeting where there were complaints about the quality of apartment blocks, which are now of high density in less space, yet cost more. Local authorities work to different guidelines in this area, whereas there should be national guidelines. I spoke about this issue two weeks ago, and it should be revisited.
