Arthur Morgan (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Does the Minister of State accept that builders can get out of their obligations to provide social housing under Part V? Land and money are not effective in this regard, as evidenced by the extremely low number of houses coming through. Does he accept that builders have been allowed to get off the hook since the introduction of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2002, and that it simply is not working? Part V is kaput. It has been gutted and banjaxed since the Government brought about these changes.
