Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2024-07-15
============================================================

Timmy Dooley (FF), Nominated by the Taoiseach

I concur fully with what Senator McDowell has identified. He is being fair-minded in his approach by asking the Minister of State to look at this before Report Stage. I believe we should. He has set out a situation many of us are aware of with regard to the politics and constituents we regularly deal with. From his sound legal mind, he does not see an opportunity for somebody who has already paid a significant amount of money for some undertaking to sue the person from whom they bought that property and this will now prevent them. That seems entirely unfair. It is probably a lot to ask the Minister of State to respond to that here in the Chamber without being appropriately briefed.
