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

Gerry Horkan (FF), Industrial and Commercial Panel

I wish to comment briefly on this. If I do not do so now in respect of amendment No. 18, amendment No. 19 will have been discussed. I will move amendment No. 19, but I will speak to it now. The amendments are similar in nature and are grouped together. I was a member of a local authority for 12 and a half years and many Members were members of local authorities for various periods of time. It is vital that councillors have their say and an involvement, but I take on board that the Minister is going to reflect on this and, hopefully, bring the spirit of this into the legislation when it goes through the Lower House. I will be happy to move and withdraw the amendment when we reach it.
