Are we likely to see the vitally important reform of planning legislation come for the House before the end of term? We are all conscious that there are only two more sitting weeks. This is a vitally important Bill that has been promised by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Darragh O'Brien. The Minister previously committed to bringing the Bill before the House before Christmas. I and others have heard from many constituents about concerns and delays in the planning system caused by the ongoing chaos with aspects of the governance of An Bord Pleanála. We need this vitally important legislation to come before us soon, given the scale of the housing crisis.
