Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Social Housing Bill 2016: Discussion
Mr. Paul Hogan:
I understand what was said in relation to the big statement about killing off SDZs. However, there has to be an element of voluntary motivation to act here. There is an assumption that developers and landowners will act rationally. If there is a significant differential for those areas of land, there is a disincentive to act to secure the designation to develop such an area and pursue the objectives of an SDZ. The likelihood is that this will eliminate one of the key advantages.
