Joanna Tuffy (Dublin Mid West, Labour)

There was a report in a newspaper recently that an official from the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government said there would be a planning Bill 2009, that there was a need to prevent excessive rezonings or rezonings in poorly located areas because the Government could not resource that anymore and that we need to stop urban sprawl. Our economic crisis has been largely caused by land speculation and excessive rezonings. Will that Bill be passed any time soon?
