Planning and Development Bill 2023: Second Stage
It is not for the Deputy to decide what the Minister does or does not do. On you go, Minister.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Second Stage
Deputy O’Callaghan has raised two points that are of keen interest to me, no pun intended. The Deputy finds fault with the explanatory memorandum and he has criticised the Bills digest. I have to say that in the years I have spent in this Chair, I have never, ever heard anything other than compliments for Bills digests and have never heard the explanatory memorandum found to be inadequate. I will have those two matters looked at and I will revert to the Deputy.
