Planning and Development (An Taisce) Bill 2024: Second Stage [Private Members]
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-09
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

Shame on you. It is not shame on me. That is what the Deputies are doing through a reckless policy, overseen by their Minister in Cabinet now leading the Green Party. What is being done to rural communities in Dundrum, Roscrea, Clonmel and all over the country is shocking. The Green Party protects the members of An Taisce at all costs today because they are Green Party supporters. My God, what about nepotism? The Deputies opposite lecture us all. It is such nepotism. It is actually bordering on corrupt but we do not know who is in An Taisce and cannot question them. It is a sacred cow.
