Ivana Bacik: ...extension of the eviction ban to the end of the year and the strengthening of the tenant in situscheme. We ask for fast-tracking of our constructive legislative proposals: our homeless families Bill, our renters’ rights Bill and our Kenny report Bill. All of those, if adopted and enacted by the Government, could and would make a real difference in addressing the housing crisis.

Ivana Bacik: ...the country in their ability to attract staff. We are seeing a failure of Government to deliver on outcomes. That is the key issue in housing.

Dr. Se?n Healy: The Kenny report, precisely. Something along those kinds of lines. We suggested an additional percentage on top of the actual basic agricultural value of the land. In that case then it would control the whole issue. At the time it was a different way of controlling the windfall gain, and it would have been quite effective in that context. The proposal was contained in the...

Cian O'Callaghan: ...country and is hampering our decision-making. I welcome the land value sharing tax that the Government is bringing in. It is a positive measure but it does not address the core issue raised in the Kenny report from almost 50 years ago. It provides a mechanism for helping the State to recoup some of the uplift in land values which, as the Minister correctly said, can then be put into...

...out economic evaluation of that with consultants to examine the impact it might have. It is the land value sharing and urban development zones proposal, which is really a modern incarnation of the Kenny report and how that might be applied to the system as it exists.

Gerald Nash: ...Ciarán Lynch, developed two Private Members Bills to establish an independent electoral commission but it has been part of the political folklore in this country for many years, just like the Kenny Report and many other mythical, almost legendary, proposals.

It is, effectively, as the Minister of State knows, a mechanism to allow the State to realise the benefit...

There are things HBFI cannot do about the land costs that the Oireachtas should be doing, but I would like to go a lot further. We have not acted on the Kenny report of the 1970s. There are things we can do regarding vacant sites, CPOs, etc. I just think we are finishing up in a worse situation than we were in given...

Patrick Costello: ...rent and to buy. This is an important measure and one the Green Party introduced when we were last in government to try to take the legs out from under land speculation. It was referred to in the Kenny report all those years ago and we finally implemented it. Unfortunately, it was removed in 2015 by the then Minister for Finance, Michael Noonan, so I am very glad to see that it is...

Seanad: Residential Tenancies (No. 2) Bill 2021: Second Stage (25 Jun 2021)

Marie Sherlock: ...Supreme Court decides on the Constitution, not the Government or the Attorney General, so the Government can be bolder.

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...problem, who will deal with it? To me, that would have been one of the central purposes of setting up such an agency, as Deputy Cian O'Callaghan said, going right back to the sort of thinking behind the Kenny report. Does the Minister recognise it as a problem? If he does, why on earth would he delay this when we are setting up an agency that could have the power to actually do...
