I will explain why it has everything to do with this amendment, which provides for the insertion of the following provision:

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.”.
