Extension of Civil Law (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2021: Motion
Dail Éireann — 2026-05-27
============================================================

Niall Collins (FF), Limerick County

I thank all of the speakers for their contributions and pledges of support for the motion.
Hopefully, it will be the last occasion that we will be here renewing this on a twice-annual basis. As we indicated, it will be legislated for on a permanent basis.
We listened to what the speakers had to say. Some of the issues raised were on topic and some of them were off topic.
A lot of them had to do with the local authority realm as well. Obviously, Government does not run local authorities. It shows the importance of the local authorities that they have such an impact on the vibrancy of the hospitality sector and also on the town and village centres. They play a very important role.
