Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Housing for All: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Mr. Feargal ? Coigligh:

As the Minister stated, the intention was to try to have legislation in place before the summer. There are significant tricky issues such as conveyancing and how it will work. The Department is working with policy papers and with our legal advisers to tease out the possibilities. Our intention is to bring policy proposals to the Government in the coming weeks and, if possible, to have those turned into legislative proposals for consideration by the Oireachtas before the summer.
