Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí (Atógáil) - Leaders' Questions (Resumed)
Dail Éireann — 2024-09-19
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

That is why we need a planning system that supports the delivery of the homes and infrastructure we need. That is why I expect Deputies on both sides of the House to support the Planning and Development Bill when it comes back to the House for its final Stages, so we can ensure we have an efficient planning system under which someone from Ballina cannot object to a social housing development in Bray and under which we do not have people blocking housing for others and delaying housing. We have planning decisions being made in courts. This affects people and delays housing delivery and the Government is determined to fix the planning system as well. I look forward to receiving the support of all Deputies opposite when this Bill comes before the House for its final Stages at the start of October.
