Camillus Glynn (Fianna Fail)

I support Senator Walsh's remarks on the planning process, especially his reference to commercial interests objecting for competitive reasons. There have been several recent examples of this in the midlands. I would welcome a debate soon on the subject during which Members could articulate their views and make suggestions that might find their way into legislation which would prevent this unsavoury practice. It beggars description and in many cases the ordinary Joe and Mary on the street suffer waiting for badly needed services. There was a clear example of this recently in the midlands.
