Richard Bruton (Dublin Bay North, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The establishment of a State developer to use State lands to develop and deliver affordable housing is a breakthrough policy. Will the Tánaiste urge a quick decision on the Minister's request to increase the budget by 50%, which I think is a minimum? Will he arrange for the Land Development Agency, LDA, to publish urgently the supply chain of sites designated for housing and not confine itself to building out existing sites? Will he develop a rapid clearing house so that reluctance of State bodies does not hamper the release of sites and there is not an excessively bureaucratic process for approving projects in the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform and elsewhere?
