Planning and Development (Amendment) (Large-scale Residential Development) Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-11-23
============================================================

Mark Wall (LAB), Industrial and Commercial Panel

The Minister spoke about bringing planning back to local government. That is what we are trying to do.
He and other speakers have mentioned the importance of councillors in the planning function, and this is an attempt to do that with regard to notification of planning applications to be discussed. That is why we are proposing it. We discussed it on the previous occasion as well. I look forward to hearing what the Minister has to say.
