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

Fintan Warfield (SF), Cultural and Educational Panel

There is a difference between being cognisant of the law and issuing an invitation for everyone to get their applications in before SHDs are banned. I have drawn parallels with co-living and the botched ban on co-living. I do not need to do so again at this hour of the night. This is another long goodbye to bad policy. It is an invitation to get applications in. Primarily, we do not accept that developers should be able to continue with SHD applications until the middle of next year. We can end them sooner. These amendments are good proposals that would do just that.
