Covid-19 (Local Government): Statements
Dail Éireann — 2020-05-27
============================================================

John Paul Phelan (FG), Carlow-Kilkenny

I will bring this specific issue to the attention of the Minister, Deputy Eoghan Murphy, again. Many Members of the House are keen to reactivate the planning process with regard to exiting Covid-19 measures. The points the Deputy made are valid and I will certainly bring them to the Minister's attention.
With regard to co-living, any private operator or State agency may want to apply for planning permission. I cannot remember the word the Deputy used but I, as Minister of State, cannot determine the planning applications people can make, nor would I like that to be the case. It is up to the planning-----
