Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: This section deals with the national planning framework and the related subsequent sections deal with the review.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have no issue with the information as presented, but the Minister of State has not addressed my question, which related to section 19 specifically. Let me explain it with a little more clarity. When the ESRI did its study in 2019, which was based on the census figures from 2016, the terms of reference for that work were not decided by the ESRI, but by the Department. I know this because...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: This is my final point. This is a fundamental point. Section 19(3), which the Minister of State refers to, talks about "identification of nationally strategic development requirements as respects cities, towns and rural areas in relation to employment". It goes on to refer to "future population change, and associated housing". That is the problem. The current national planning framework...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: It is a fundamental point. My understanding is that when the Housing Commission submits its final report to the Minister, it will give a figure for the first time ever of unmet pent-up demand - separate to future population growth and new household formation - from the existing population. My problem is that it is not a requirement of the NPF or the NPF review. The reason that is a problem...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have one tiny question and then I am done. So that we are completely clear, is the Minister of State saying on the record of this committee that the ESRI report that will underpin the NPF review will include a calculation of unmet pent-up housing demand? Is the Minister of State saying absolutely it will be in that report?

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (6 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Is the Minister of State saying that it will include a calculation of pent-up unmet demand? It is a straightforward yes-no question. I will leave it at that.
