Legislative Programme. (6 Feb 2007)

Trevor Sargent: ...the House considered this question. I refer to the All-Party Committee on the Constitution, which the Taoiseach mentioned. Is it now clear that the implementation of the recommendations of the Kenny report will not require a referendum? The Taoiseach mentioned in his reply to me the last time we spoke about this matter that the Bill to give effect to those recommendations was being...

Legislative Programme. (7 Nov 2006) See 1 other result from this debate

Trevor Sargent: I wish to ask the Taoiseach a question on his commitment, or promise, to bring forward legislation on the Kenny report. I am not sure which Department he envisages that relates to but, as he made the promise, I will ask him to adjudicate on that aspect and perhaps give us more information on when it might become a reality. I appreciate the level of latitude the Ceann Comhairle has afforded...

Arthur Morgan: ...their own homes and are being churned from tenement to tenement by unscrupulous landlords. It is time this state of affairs ended. This Government has presided over it long enough. In 1973, the Kenny report concluded that part of the solution to the housing problem was to give local authorities the option of making compulsory purchase orders in respect of land for housing. This view was...

Leaders' Questions (25 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: ...away with approximately €250,000 before foundations are even laid. Will the Taoiseach do anything about this matter? When I asked him about it, he said he was and still is in favour of the Kenny report. I asked about the legislation and he said it was being drafted, that he was pressing to get on with it and that he did not agree with me. He said he would try to address the matter...

Afforestation Programme. (17 Oct 2006)

Trevor Sargent: ...be useful to know if the Minister of State is thinking of introducing such an increase. As she said, land prices are increasing and many issues need to be dealt with separately in that context, the Kenny report being only one of them. Does the Minister of State intend to increase premiums in light of those other increases in costs, which make it difficult for many farmers to engage in...

Ciarán Cuffe: What about the Kenny report when it comes to platitudes?

Order of Business (Resumed). (5 Jul 2006)

Trevor Sargent: ...further week so the Sullivan report and other important matters can be dealt with? Yesterday I asked the Taoiseach what would be the title of the legislation to implement the recommendations of the Kenny report. Does he have a name for the Bill? Will it be called the price of land suitable for building Bill or the control of speculators Bill?

Trevor Sargent: ...of business to deal with it, I ask the Ceann Comhairle to bear in mind the content of the report when evaluating his decision. Earlier today the Taoiseach said legislation would arise on foot of the Kenny report on building land. What title will that legislation have so we can watch out for it? Will the Taoiseach indicate a timeframe for its publication? The charities regulation Bill is on...

Trevor Sargent: ...Taoiseach claims to represent. When it comes to building land, following rezoning in Shankill the value of land rose from €2 million to €200 million. If that had been done in accordance with the Kenny report, the land could have been acquired for €2.5 million. The local authorities must go cap in hand to the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Deputy Roche,...

Requests to move Adjournment of Dáil under Standing Order 31. (29 Jun 2006)

Séamus Healy: I seek the adjournment of the Dáil under Standing Order 31 to raise a matter of national importance, namely, the need for the Government to implement the terms of the 30 year old Kenny report on the price of building land in view of the fact that house prices rose by 270% in the past ten years and today's revelation that house prices in the first few months of this year have risen at three...

House Prices. (22 Jun 2006)

Seán Crowe: ...housing, but many builders pay money instead of delivering housing units. The Building Industry Bulletin of 2002 found that the profit on building land in Ireland was 300% above average profits. The Kenny report recommended a ceiling on the price of land of the existing value of agricultural land plus 25%. Again, however, no action was taken by the Government. Many young people in Ireland...

Séamus Healy: ...on big private developers, local authorities or State agencies. The Bill should be dealing with a series of areas in the planning process but fails to do so. They include the implementation of the Kenny report which was published in the early 1970s. I was a young clerical officer in South Tipperary County Council at the time and I know there was a big welcome for that report by local...

Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (13 Jun 2006)

Joe Costello: ...I hope the Minister will consider accepting amendments to cover some of the provisions omitted from this Bill. The most urgent outstanding legislative provision relates to the recommendations of the Kenny report. The Minister is well advised to turn his attention to implementing those recommendations, which would regulate the value of development land. They would put an end to the obscene...

Death of Former Taoiseach: Expressions of Sympathy. (13 Jun 2006)

Trevor Sargent: ...for examining where rules need to be put in place for planning and land rezoning and bringing together that huge divide in Irish society between those who have property and those who do not. The Kenny report of 1973 should be the catalyst to bring us forward and leave behind what was a murky past. Charles Haughey was identified with that past, although unfairly in many ways. He undertook...

Noel Ahern: ...of the affordable homes partnership last year, with a focused mandate to co-ordinate and add impetus to the delivery of affordable housing in and around the capital. We can talk about the Kenny report until the cows come home, and the all-party committee's comments last year, but it is a case of spending one's life in the Supreme Court arguing a case or getting on with it.

Planning and Development (Strategic Infrastructure) Bill 2006 [Seanad]: Second Stage (Resumed). (31 May 2006)

Willie Penrose: ...those young people who can put roofs over their heads €200,000, €250,000 or more for their houses. The Government must be criticised for its failure to implement the recommendations of the Kenny report, which has been lying around since the 1970s but about which action should now be taken. It is a scandal and a shame that young people who may have easily been able to put roofs over...

Seanad: Order of Business. (17 May 2006)

Mary O'Rourke: .... She wonders whether some of them are coming in here. The Senator can bet her bottom dollar they are. Senator Bannon said developers are not releasing land. It is their land. That goes back to the Kenny report. What can one do?

Séamus Healy: ...in a previous election. If the political will existed, we could have the wit to develop a system of fair State funding. I recall when I became involved in local government in the early 1970s, the Kenny report was published and was a key issue at the time. Many, if not all, officials in local authorities looked forward to the implementation of the report. Unfortunately, that has not...
