Alan Kelly (Tipperary, Labour) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach has repeatedly said that his number one priority is housing. Over the last eight years, house prices have risen by 68%. As the Taoiseach is aware, my party is putting forward a Bill tomorrow to implement the Kenny report, which the National Economic and Social Council, NESC, has already said is necessary and it supports it. The land is a large component of the cost of building a house. I note that in 2018 the Taoiseach said:

I think implementing [the] Kenny [report] is morally the right thing to do - I don't think there should be windfall profits once land is rezoned but it would also undoubtedly reduce the cost of housing because the price of land at the moment is a significant factor in increasing the price of houses.

Based on those comments a couple of years ago, will the Taoiseach support the Labour Party's honest attempt to address this tomorrow through the implementation of the Kenny report in legislation?
