Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Robert Keran:
I agree with the Deputy's point about UDZs in general terms. The problem at the moment is that the way in which it is drafted is remarkably similar to what SDZs intended to do. Section 171AB states that a UDZ shall be "of significant economic, social or environmental benefit to the State and the common good". That is an SDZ. It is the same thing.
