Planning Guidelines
Seanad Éireann — 2020-12-08
============================================================

Mark Wall (LAB), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I welcome the Minister of State's reply, which represents a very important step forward. Having an introductory meeting next week is very positive. As I said in my introduction, we are behind the curve on the number of changing facilities we have, and we have a considerable amount of catching up to do. I welcome the Minister of State's commitment to this. For quality of life it is vital that we have as many changing places and toilet facilities as possible throughout the country. I also ask the Minister of State to consider putting changing places and toilet facilities in local authority parks and close to playgrounds. We have seen an important step forward in Wexford. It would be very welcome if that could be replicated throughout the country.
