Planning and Development (Amendment) (Large-scale Residential Development) Bill 2021: Committee Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-11-16
============================================================

Darragh O'Brien (FF), Dublin Fingal

I do not call into question the Senators' motivation in tabling the amendments. The motivation may be sound but the effects could be genuinely catastrophic and could remove powers from any Minister to make some changes by way of guidelines in the future. I am not questioning, nor would I, their motivation for tabling the amendments but I cannot accept them.
