I move amendment No. 2:

In page 6, between lines 5 and 6, to insert the following:“Report on the causes of delays in the construction of housing

3. The Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government is to report within three months of the enactment of the Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act 2016 on the causes of delays in the construction of housing, including—

(a) delays caused by the hoarding of land by landowners and developers,

(b) delays attributable to developers during the planning and pre-planning process,

(c) delays related to tendering rules and processes in the case of local authority own development,

and on the measures needed to address them.”.

I would like to take this opportunity to salute those who are currently occupying Apollo House, activists from the Home Sweet Home campaign and the Irish Housing Network.
