Darragh O'Brien: I move amendment No. 13: In page 29, to delete lines 11 to 16 and substitute the following: “ “approved local newspaper” means, in relation to the functional area of a planning authority— (a) a publication (other than an online publication or online version of a publication) that— (i) circulates in the functional area of the planning authority, and...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: I have outlined the rationale for amendment No. 1. It may have caught some of the Deputies by surprise that the debate on the Bill had started but I was operating to the schedule. What we are looking at here, which is very important, is the extension of the RPZs for another year while we look at what other rent controls might be introduced. We are using the Bill as a vehicle to do that....

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: On the extension of the RPZs, there is not a single place in the country where they are being adhered to and observed. All the data shows they are being breached in every single location.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Catherine Connolly: Gabh mo leithscéal, Deputy. To clarify, every Member has seven minutes to speak on each amendment or group of amendments. In addition, every Member has a further two minutes, if they so choose, and the proposer of the amendment has an extra two minutes. It is better if Members take their seven minutes before the Minister responds in order to get answers.

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: Go raibh maith agat, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. As I said, the data clearly shows the RPZs are being breached all over the country. The 2% rent increase per year that is allowable by law is being breached significantly everywhere. This is putting renters under huge pressure. Is there anything in the changes being made that means the RPZs will actually be enforced? There are no changes...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Absolutely. I have a couple of technical questions for the Minister. On amendment No. 827, I am seeking clarification regarding the reference to section 19 (6A) of the Residential Tenancies Act 2004, as amended. We have had a lot of debate on the existing legislation and the setting of RPZs. There was a procedure relating to properties in a split local electoral area, LEA. Is there...

Planning and Development Bill 2023: Report Stage (11 Jun 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: On Deputy Ó Broin's first question, the provision allows for exactly what he has outlined. Taking Carrigaline as an example that has been raised in the House, the passing of this provision would give me, as Minister, the power to add the portion in question to an RPZ even though it would not, on its own, meet the criteria for an RPZ. On Deputy O'Callaghan's question, we will see...
