Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the witnesses for their interesting answers to our questions. I will revert to some of the data. This may be a question for Ms Gallagher specifically.

Irrespective of what is in the Minister of State's speaking note, I urge him to think long and hard about this amendment and revert at a later stage, if possible.

My fundamental objection to the Bill, and the...

Planning and Development (Amendment) (Repeal of Part V Leasing) Bill 2021: Second Stage [Private Members] (6 May 2021)

Eoin Ó Broin: ...V was designed not only to provide social housing but to ensure no housing development could be 100% private. Yet, we have a situation where a developer can lease out the units for 25 years then revert them back to private, resulting in the whole purpose of Part V being actively undermined. Every time I hear a Minister talk about social housing ghettoes, the patronising tone sends...

Eoin Ó Broin: ...for a local authority to apply to exit after year one under certain conditions or in certain ways, if it is able to convince the Department. That is then tracked and if the local authority does not do it, it reverts. That might be a way.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Review of Local Property Tax: Discussion (9 May 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: ...it would be my preference to draw a line in the sand to say the tax does not work. We need an honest conversation about funding local government. If we continue to be solely reliant on or simply revert to 100% central government funding and grants for housing and roads supplemented by business rates, this is not a good model either. I am a little worried, not by the councillors'...
