Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: From the Seanad (23 Oct 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: It does not have €6.25 billion. It currently has €3.75 billion between funds that have been spent, allocated and what is proposed today. To say it has access to the remainder of the funds is the most liberal use of the word “access” I have heard in some time. It is important we understand why. In theory, the LDA can go and borrow on the markets, but the LDA is...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank everybody for their presentations. While today's session is obviously primarily on the national planning framework and climate change, given that the Cabinet agreed the revised housing targets and that those targets were the subject of my last exchange with Mr. Hogan when he was with us on the national planning framework in July, I will start with some questions on that area. It...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Obviously, I understand the difference between setting a macro target to 2040 and then what an individual Government does with regard to how it meets those targets within a five-year cycle.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: In case we do not get to the detail of this, Mr. Hogan mentioned there was a methodology with regard to both the 50,000 but also in the numbers we have heard today. Is that a methodology Mr. Hogan can share with this committee in writing before the Dáil is dissolved later this week? A lot of us really want to try and understand this. When we read the commission's report, the...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: That is hugely different from the Housing Commission's by a factor of about 100,000 from the bottom range to the top range. It is maybe 215,000 to-----

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I am way over time but I think it would be really useful if the committee members could see the analysis; maybe not the options as that might be politically sensitive. I do think we should get a copy of the analysis. There is a huge gap between the two assessments.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion (5 Nov 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I would say that he would like to say that they should have been published years ago but he could not possibly say that in a committee.
