Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-11
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (CC), Galway West

D'fhan mé go dtí go raibh an díospóireacht thart ach ní ionann cearta teanga agus leibhéal maorlathais eile. In the interest of clarity, it is not correct to say that language rights are the same as an extra layer of bureaucracy. That is not correct. There are rights under the Constitution and the Official Languages Act. For the record, it is not the same as putting an extra layer of bureaucracy on people.
