Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-09
============================================================

Richard Boyd Barrett (PBP), Dún Laoghaire

-----because Deputy Matthews went along with the cynical guillotining of this Bill. This, therefore, is the last opportunity we have to speak on the really substantial amendments in this Bill. We will not get to discuss them properly. The Green Party has betrayed its promise in the programme for Government not to develop more fossil fuel infrastructure in this country that will lock us into things that are extremely damaging to the environment because of the leakage of methane from liquid natural gas.
