Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Committee Stage (25 May 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: It is interesting, and as we go through these amendments, we have to make some progress in the debate. Some of the discussion we have had for the past ten minutes relates to developments that are up and running or are not based on the legislation which we are passing here.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (3 Jun 2021)

Paul McAuliffe: I have to forgive Deputy Boyd Barrett because he was not present for the entire debate on this Bill and the pre-legislative scrutiny of the Affordable Housing Bill.

The core direction of both is to ensure there is a legislative basis for significant delivery of public housing by the State on land that we own. The...
