Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2025: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2025-07-10
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I have gone on but I will say we are being denied time to properly address this, with this poor democratic practice of bringing in this bad proposal at the last minute. By the way, it will require fire safety and health certificates and will delay planning permission that is ready to go. All of those processes around fire and health certificates will have to be done. We are actually delaying and rewarding those who seek to delay for profit.
