Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Select Sub-Committee on the Environment, Community and Local Government: Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2015)

Due to the lack of supply, there is a need to build public housing on a large scale, as I do not see how we will provide houses if we do not build them. I completely agree that a get out clause will always be problematic. Developers are always looking to find a way out of their obligation to...

Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Select Sub-Committee on the Environment, Community and Local Government: Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2015)

Catherine Murphy: One of the issues I raised either at the pre-legislative stage or on Second Stage was the need for flexibility.

I looked for a sunset clause so there would be at the very least the prospect of a...

Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Select Sub-Committee on the Environment, Community and Local Government: Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2015)

Catherine Murphy: I will make two points on the negotiations that must take place. Many local authorities have lost some of the staff that would have been on temporary contracts and so on. When developers are coming in and negotiating, there is a particular skillset that is not always available at local authority level. The Minister might give us some assurances that there would be a beefing up of that...

Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht: Select Sub-Committee on the Environment, Community and Local Government: Urban Regeneration and Housing Bill 2015: Committee Stage (30 Jun 2015)

Catherine Murphy: It is quite extraordinary how we can be told that issues do not come within the scope of the Bill and yet in the next few days, we will deal with the absolute converse where we will change the Title of legislation and rush it through. There is hypocrisy about what does and does not come within the scope of legislation. In some cases, that could be extremely frustrating.
