Council Development Levies: Motion [Private Members] (1 Feb 2023)

Kieran O'Donnell: ...response to the recognition in the programme for Government that there is a need for community gain in planning decisions. Housing for All set out in greater detail the intention to respond to the Kenny report of 1973 and the recommendations made by the National Economic and Social Council, NESC, and others on the need to reform Ireland’s system of land management. I move to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government: Housing and Rental Market: Discussion (Resumed) (28 Jun 2017)

...terms of planning, in multi-unit dwellings house rules are coming on stream. Many management companies now stipulate that units may not be used for short-term lets. Such measures are on the increase. The Kenny report on vacant sites was published a very long time ago, and successive Dáileanna have baulked from using tax and legislation to change behaviour. In effect, private...

Rent Supplement: Motion (Resumed). (15 Feb 2006)

Emmet Stagg: ...provision of sufficient homes for rent and purchase at prices that the 60,000 families on rent subsidy can afford. This will require the acquisition of land — I refer the Minister of State to the Kenny report in that regard — and the building of large numbers of units of social and affordable housing by the State or its agents. A total of 60,000 homes are required in these categories....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Appropriate Use of Public Land: Discussion (17 Oct 2018)

...that is economical to those who require such development, whether for housing or other purposes - will not happen without a more proactive role by the State in land management terms. From the Kenny report of 1973 to the National Economic and Social Council’s report on land of last March, to international experience in other jurisdictions to which Mr. Cussen alluded, there is a...

Europe Week: Statements (6 May 2014)

Mick Wallace: ...that people were allowed to accumulate incredible profits on the sale of land. Only a handful of people controlled most of the development in Dublin city, which, sadly, is still true today. In 1974 the Kenny report recommended that the price of development land only be allowed to rise a certain percentage above the price of agricultural land. It would make a lot of sense for the...

Urban Regeneration and Housing (Amendment) Bill 2018: First Stage (21 Jun 2018)

Mick Wallace: ...levy had been designed to fail and not to prevent or discourage landbanking. It has not done so. I know that it has not even been collected, but it has not affected the price of land being banked. The Kenny report dates back to 1974. The truth of the matter is that no Government in the history of the State has had the courage to do what needs to be done to tackle landbanking. The...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Sep 2018)

Eoghan Murphy: ...State bodies and local authorities, using experienced staff with expertise in project management finance, planning, development and procurement. For the first time, the Government will create a State body to deliver on the key principles of the Kenny report of 1973 and NESC’s latest research, targeting land management and housing delivery that is intended to underpin the delivery...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (25 May 2023)

...LVS, and urban development zones, UDZs, and the need to address the levels of land speculation experienced in areas of high demand. Moreover, it is a positive step forward to have the recommendations of the Kenny report incorporated into legislation. The CCMA appreciates the decision to incorporate this provision in the planning and development legislation rather than the Finance Act,...

Family Home Protection (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2011: Second Stage (3 Feb 2012)

Robert Dowds: ...are likely to be damned to repeat the same mistakes again. We must consider such factors as the spiralling cost of building land. That, in a sense, is a knock-on of our failure to take heed of the Kenny report in the 1970s, which would have put some control on the price of building land. The fuelling of the property market under section 23 was encouraged by Fianna Fáil Governments....

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Budget Statement 2015 (14 Oct 2014)

Maureen O'Sullivan: ...the centre of Dublin which bear witness to that. Why are the measures not coming in now on land that is already zoned and serviced, as opposed to in a few months' time after public consultation? We are still awaiting the implementation of the Kenny report from 1973. I note the additional €10 million for accommodation and services for homeless people. I ask that a proportion of...

Mortgage Arrears: Motion (Resumed) (4 Nov 2009)

Emmet Stagg: ...bankers. All of this could have been prevented and avoided. The Government played a key role in creating and magnifying the problem which is now a crisis. If the Government had implemented the Kenny report on building land, thereby controlling its price, regulated the financial institutions and not adopted the McCreevy light-finger regulation, none of this would have occurred. Of...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: .... We would have added another area to the motion. I accept that Sinn Féin wished to be specific on particular issues and that there are many matters that could be included, but our proposal regarding the Kenny report relates to the issue of hoarding building land. We wish to see that implemented as well. There is certainly evidence now that much-needed building land is being sat...

Housing and Homeless Prevention: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Jan 2024)

Catherine Connolly: ...a Labour Party conference on the unaffordability of housing. I remember pointing to headlines in The Irish Times at the time on the cost of housing. Does the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, remember the Kenny report? It was published more than half a century ago - 51 years ago. It told us there was a huge problem at the time and we needed to give local authorities power to acquire...

Land Bill 2004 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (1 Jul 2005)

Fergus O'Dowd: ...1881, the year the Land Commission was set up. There is now a hunger for housing as opposed to land. Some issues about land ought to be addressed by this Government. Mention is often made of the Kenny report on building land and so on. It is a real issue that the value of land, depending on where one lives, can vary enormously. The Taoiseach has said that the constitutional review group...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Financing of Social Housing: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

...delivery by housing associations and local authorities. Land initiatives potentially can have the most significant and positive long-term impact on the housing and land markets. Nothing has been done since the Kenny report and the report of the all-party Oireachtas committee in 2003. This will assist in the provision of housing, both social housing and other tenures, where affordability...

National Asset Management Agency Bill 2009: Second Stage (Resumed) (7 Oct 2009)

Willie Penrose: ...them tolerable places to live. All of this is the result of Fianna Fáil policy which has always put the interests of property speculators over the interests of the community. The provisions of the Kenny report on building land prices of nearly 30 years ago are being dusted down and reconsidered. Every time the Labour Party sought the implementation of the Kenny report, we were told that...

Taoiseach a Ainmniú - Nomination of Taoiseach (17 Dec 2022)

Ivana Bacik: ...legislation on sick pay, a living wage, a real right to flexible working and pay rises for workers. On housing, our renters' rights Bill would have limited the grounds for eviction and would have frozen rents. Our Bill to implement the Kenny report would end land speculation and hoarding. On care, we have championed student nurses, community and care workers and a public universal...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Minister for Finance (5 May 2016)

Mick Wallace: ...the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, there is a tax issue in respect of sites and land-banking which has never been dealt with by the State. Given that I am younger than him, the Minister is probably more familiar with the Kenny report, which was published in 1974, than I have ever been. Without a shadow of a doubt, the biggest single problem around the...

Seanad: Housing For All: Statements (7 Nov 2023)

Michael McDowell: ...is required, including in respect of the compulsory purchase of land, the valuation of land, property prices, land banks and all the rest of it. I am convinced, on the basis of going back to the Kenny report, that there is no constitutional reason the Government cannot do its job. In that context, I remind us all that the Housing Act 1966 conferred and imposed on every housing authority...

Financial Resolutions 2017 - Financial Resolution No. 2: General (Resumed) (12 Oct 2016)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...average cost of supplying a house is €330,000, but only €150,000 of this figure relates to the cost of construction. More than half of the cost is made up of taxes and, in particular, the cost of land. We made a proposal to implement the Kenny report, whereby if landowners were to be compensated for the compulsory purchase of building land, they should be paid the...
