Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

If the Bill is unconstitutional and will not proceed the Government should be up front about it.

On another piece of legislation, a report this Sunday on the designated land (housing development) Bill suggested the Government will pass a law allowing it to acquire land for critical public projects at below market value. Is this just kite-flying to keep the Green Party's publicity machine going? Will this go ahead because the Government has not used compulsory purchase orders, CPOs?
