Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) Seanad Éireann — 2024-07-16 ============================================================ Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny There is no need to apologise. The Senator understands the rationale behind my inability to accept the amendment. I point to the initiatives that are in place. Again, that access to cultural space should be fully inclusive and, again, that responsibility falls at local level. I hope we get to discuss it later regarding development plans, but that is hugely important. I agree with the sentiment and what the Senator is trying to achieve. --- Source: Houses of the Oireachtas. Licensed under CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).
