Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Land Development Agency Bill: Discussion

Ms Mary Hoade:

I agree with Senator Cummins on the role of the elected members and I thank him for his comments. As I said at the outset, we are happy to engage with the committee. I agree with what he said on the affordable housing roll-out. It would give much more flexibility if we were to agree to that. Section 183 was the one issue that angered most of our members. We were mandated to come here and seek the removal of section 183. As I said at the outset, we would be happy to engage further with the committee and to have further discussions on this. Ms Colgan will answer the question on the 30%.
