Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2021: Committee and Remaining Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-06-28
============================================================

John Cummins (FG), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister of State for taking the amendment on board. It was something Senator Fitzpatrick and other Senators raised on Second Stage. As she says, it is a pragmatic approach to move towards a simple majority as opposed to the two-thirds majority required. It will be of assistance to local authority members across the country.
