Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2024-07-16
============================================================

John Cummins (FG), Labour Panel

I commend my colleague, Senator Currie. She has been consistent on this matter. We understand the importance of the infrastructure. If the Minister of State does not accept Senator Currie’s amendment, perhaps he can take it upon himself to table an amendment on Report Stage that would adequately address the balance between the importance of the infrastructure and the right of the community to have its say on any infrastructure erected in its area.
I welcome that Senator Currie moved this amendment. It has given us the opportunity to tease out the matter. I look forward to the Minister of State’s response.
