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

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

I have listened intently to what the Senator has to say and I appreciate her input, I genuinely do, but section 5 is fundamental to the operation of this piece of legislation. I have addressed the points in detail and Senator McDowell has also made his contribution which I agree with. I note the Senator's amendments on this were ruled out of order because they were seen to be in direct conflict with the main thrust of the Bill. I do not think I have anything further to say on section 5. I strongly recommend that it is a fundamental part of the legislation and needs to be passed as published.
