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

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

I have covered it in detail. I have explained that it is standard practice and a phrase that is widely used throughout the Statute Book. The impression would be given, or the interpretation could be, that if one was to just to remove "expedient" then it would just be "necessary". What would be the impact of that? It would be strange to remove it in this Bill while it applies elsewhere. I have outlined the reasons I cannot accept amendments Nos. 47 and 48.
The Deputy mentioned something else.
