National Planning Framework
Seanad Éireann — 2020-12-01
============================================================

Aidan Davitt (FF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

The national planning framework should be tweaked more towards those smaller towns and villages. They are not part of it. They are numbered and categorised but they really are the orphans in this process. I refer to towns such as Castlepollard and Kinnegad. They should get more priority. We should look at this. It is within the remit of the Minister of State.
