Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2009: Committee Stage (Resumed)
10:00 pm
Brendan Ryan (Labour)
This section is a blow to democracy. Currently, the occupiers of a development have a right to vote on whether it is taken in charge. The Bill will remove this right and confer it on the owners rather than the occupiers. The Minister of State claims that he is following the Law Reform Commission's recommendations, but we suggest that this provision be deleted.
