I cannot accept the two proposed amendments to amendment No. 1 tabled by Deputies Boyd Barrett, Ó Broin, Ó Snodaigh, Gould and Cian O'Callaghan with the aim of adding references in the Long Title to give effect to international conventions and directives of the European Parliament and of the Council and to a number of other enactments that are referred to in the Bill but not necessarily amended by the Bill. The Bill already includes relevant specific provisions to give effect to an EU law. This is not required to b…

Okay. I have moved the amendment and I have spoken to the others in the group. I will come back in if need be.

To be helpful, Deputy Farrell moved Deputy Ó Broin's amendment.

I take it that the same applies. It is seven minutes and two minutes.

I have outlined the rationale for amendment No. 1. It may have caught some of the Deputies by surprise that the debate on the Bill had started but I was operating to the schedule. What we are looking at here, which is very important, is the extension of the RPZs for another year while we look at what other rent controls might be introduced. We are using the Bill as a vehicle to do that. Everyone will agree this is the right thing to do. I have already flagged that we will provide legislative certainty in that regar…

On Deputy Ó Broin's first question, the provision allows for exactly what he has outlined. Taking Carrigaline as an example that has been raised in the House, the passing of this provision would give me, as Minister, the power to add the portion in question to an RPZ even though it would not, on its own, meet the criteria for an RPZ. On Deputy O'Callaghan's question, we will see reporting of existing rents and new rents as well. New rents being sought on new properties can skew things. We are certainly seeing an im…

I move amendment No. 13: In page 29, to delete lines 11 to 16 and substitute the following: “ “approved local newspaper” means, in relation to the functional area of a planning authority— (a) a publication (other than an online publication or online version of a publication) that— (i) circulates in the functional area of the planning authority, and (ii) is approved in a prescribed manner by the planning authority for the purposes of this Act, or (b) an online publication, or online version of a publication, approve…

We are discussing them all now. That is fine. Those amendments were tabled by Deputies Ó Broin, Gould and Ó Snodaigh. Amendment Nos. 29 and 144 were tabled by Deputy Matthews and amendment No. 39 was tabled by Deputy Ó Cathasaigh. Amendments Nos. 14 to 16, inclusive, 18, 20 and 32 all seek to change English terms used in respect of an coimisiún pleanála to their Irish language equivalents. As Deputies will see when we get to Part 17, I have tabled amendments in this regard that I consider appropriate in terms of re…
