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

Victor Boyhan (IND), Agricultural Panel

I am not arguing with anybody. I am just making the point. My understanding is that it was always the case. I receive a list of planning from my planning authority every Thursday. I receive it every single week as a citizen. It has nothing to do with my status as a politician and I see all the planning applications. It is about public participation and engagement. This is critically important. The Minister has a different view from me. That is fair enough and I respect that. This issue is important. I will pursue both of our amendments today.
