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

John Cummins (FG), Labour Panel

I will be brief. We need to be careful in our language here, particularly in saying that we are dropping below high standards. When we take a vote on legislation in this House, we have a simple majority. I do not hear anybody questioning that high bar of democratic voting processes we have in place in this House, or that is in place in houses across the world. I would ask that to be taken into consideration.
