Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Provision (28 Sep 2022)

Ceisteanna Eile - Other Questions: Housing Provision (28 Sep 2022)

Kieran O'Donnell: My point is very simple; I believe every new estate that is being built should have 10% social housing and 10% affordable housing. At present, every new estate being built will have 10% social housing. However, if planning permission is secured to develop land that was purchased between 1 September 2015 and 31 July 2021 before 31 July 2026, which is four years away, there is no requirement...
