Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2022: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2022-05-31
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I will speak to the section because it is a substantial area of the Bill. I disagree with the rulings in respect of my amendments. As I have indicated, I will raise this with the Seanad Committee on Parliamentary Privileges and Oversight. There has been an overinterpretation in respect of these issues and I am concerned we are moving towards a position where, effectively, Parliament is being constrained in respect of its appropriate work relating to decisions-----
