Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-07-12
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 22:
In page 12, line 2, after “may,” to insert “following consultation with the relevant Oireachtas Committee and”.
We all represent the State and we have heard a lot of reference to State land. The concern is not any one place or area but that land going to the Land Development Agency is no longer State land. We will come to that later. There is a specific provision that says it will not be and that concern comes later. Amendment No. 22 provides an appropriate consultation point in the relevant Oireachtas committee, which can bring together different perspectives from different parts of the country and provide insights.
Senator Boyhan wants to speak on amendments Nos. 23 and 24. They relate to a key concern of the Association of Irish Local Government, AILG, that the content of any direction under this section be published in Iris Oifigiúil , a national newspaper and the websites of the Minister and the Land Development Agency.
