Programme for Government
Dail Éireann — 2023-09-26
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

My question relates to the areas where the national development plan and the programme for Government might converge, or in some cases might not converge, leaving questions as to whether they might be advanced in line with the concerns of the local communities, where there is obviously continued activity to pursue these issues. Snags have occurred in the past regarding the programme for Government, and in particular the national development plan. How can the Taoiseach at this stage try to use his good influence to ensure that those concerns, barbs and hold-ups are resolved?
