An Bille um an Naoú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Ceart chun Tithíochta) 2020: An Dara Céim [Comhaltaí Príobháideacha] - Thirty-ninth Amendment of the Constitution (Right to Housing) Bill 2020: Second Stage [Private Members] (3 Jun 2021)

Duncan Smith: ...be two more unless something is done. When we peel back all the complex reasons, this issue comes down to some very simple things. It comes down, in many ways, to the price of land. If we look at the Kenny report, which has been gathering dust now for 50 years, what has stopped that from being implemented? It is the threat that it would be shot down in the courts and might be...

Acquisition of Development Land (Assessment of Compensation) Bill 2021: First Stage (3 Jun 2021)

Alan Kelly: ...and reduce the cost of newly built houses by tens of thousands of euro by doing once and for all something for which many of us have called for many years, namely, implementing the central recommendations of the Kenny report of 1973. This Bill will give the power to local authorities to compulsorily purchase development land at its existing use value plus 25%, rather than at market value....

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (1 Jun 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...it to deliver housing to meet housing needs, particularly the need for social and affordable housing. What I would like to see, and what these amendments aim to bring about, is an agency that essentially does what the Kenny report talked about. It should, in an aggressive way, take control of the bank of land for building that is currently largely privately held in order to deal with...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Committee Stage (25 May 2021)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...drip feeding into the market at a pace that suits them to keep land prices up and essentially manipulate the market. That is what we want a Land Development Agency to do. That was the general thrust of the Kenny report many years ago. We do not want a Land Development Agency as a substitute for the local authorities or to marketise public land.

Joan Collins: ...lists. We should also be introducing cost-rental housing for those who do not qualify for local authority housing. Fifty years after it was first recommended, the State should introduce a key recommendation of the Kenny report for land rezoned to residential use to be capped at 25% of its agricultural value. The Government could introduce a separate 20% "use it or lose it" tax on...

Bernard Durkan: ...generation have been excluded from the housing market by one means or another. Various reasons have been put forward for that, and I disagree with my colleague, Deputy Lahart, on this one. The Kenny report is meant to be the be-all and end-all of everything. It is not because there were a number of reports around that time. There was the Kenny report, the Myles Wright report and the...

Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) (18 Feb 2021)

Carol Nolan: ...efforts to maintain financial viability through farm expansion, and I also called it a land grab. These concerns were amplified by reports that the CPO proposal would seek to implement key recommendation from the Kenny report of 1973, which states, "It should be possible for local authorities or government agencies to 'CPO' farmland for house building, by paying the landowner agricultural...

Cian O'Callaghan: ...is why it is so important that this Bill should include compulsory purchase order powers. Such powers were recommended before I was born, and probably before the Minister was born as well, in the Kenny report in 1973. Yet, that system has still not been put in place and we do not have the strong CPO powers that are needed. Instead, the Bill envisages a much more limited role for the...

Response of the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to Covid-19: Statements (28 Jan 2021)

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin: ...and a development plan voted in by elected councillors who understand the dynamic of the local authority area. There are big questions that we need to address to do this, like the right to housing, implementation of the Kenny report and proper taxation of speculative development land. I call on the Minister to break the influence of the developers and hedge funds on the Department and to...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Committee Work Programme: Discussion (6 Oct 2020)

Eoin Ó Broin: ...was directly involved in the production of each of the five reports published between 1972 and three years ago to appear before the committee. This will be possible in all cases but one, namely the Kenny report. There is nobody still alive who was involved in its production but we could bring in some independent expert on it. The idea is that those invited will just talk to the...

Ceisteanna (Atógáil) - Questions (Resumed): Constitutional Amendments (9 Sep 2020)

Alan Kelly: ...would have to be held as soon as possible. This was given the electorate's clear desire for that. There is no mention of that in the programme for Government. Why did it disappear? We all talk about the Kenny report. Why did that commitment from Fianna Fáil from the framework document disappear from the programme for Government? Will the Taoiseach outline in detail what he is...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (7 Jul 2020)

Cian O'Callaghan: ...the existing land use values and acquire land at the existing land value. There is nothing new in that idea; it was proposed in Ireland, as everyone in the House will know, some 47 years ago in the Kenny report. The current Taoiseach stated two years ago that he was examining whether the Kenny report could be implemented but there has been silence on that since. That is what we should...

Rent Freeze (Fair Rent) Bill 2019: Second Stage [Private Members] (10 Dec 2019)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...should not be the case. I submitted a proposed Bill, which has not yet come back from the Ceann Comhairle's office, on something that my party included in a previous Private Members' Bill, namely, implementation of the Kenny report of the early 1970s. This would discourage people who own land that is appropriate for development from sitting on it and hoarding it until they can make a...

Confidence in the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government: Motion [Private Members] (3 Dec 2019)

Róisín Shortall: ...that what the Minister has in mind for the LDA is not an agency that is socially focused, just as the National Asset Management Agency was not either. Claims by the Minister he is implementing the Kenny report are laughable. The State needs to take control of land prices and the Minister should stop hiding behind the Constitution in that regard. Having a place to call home is a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Development Agency Bill 2019: Discussion (Resumed) (12 Nov 2019)

...LDA is being established in this context and responds to the need for more active land management by the State, which has been articulated in many policy documents over the years, including the 1973 Kenny report and various reports of the National Economic and Social Council, NESC. Indeed, in its latest report on this issue, report No.1451, NESC stated that Project Ireland 2040 provided...

...cost of supplying a house. All things being equal, this would result in an increase in supply at a given price. Unfortunately, this diagnosis of issues in the Irish housing market is not new; the Kenny report in 1973 identified building land as a major issue with the report recommending that such land should be acquired by local authorities for 25% more than its agricultural value. More...

Colette Kelleher: .... It would be important for the committee to hear those views on what is proposed and if the LDA adds as much value and is the picture is as rosy as the witnesses present. What is NewERA? The Kenny report must be uppermost in our minds when dealing with these issues. It is a sterling piece of work, to which we have not paid proper attention. We must come back to an understanding that...

Willie Penrose: ...those people. Another policy that would permit the State to deliver more public housing, which I know the Minister will not implement but I would have had a shot at, is implementation the 1973 Kenny report. I read this as a student when I was doing law and I believe in everything that the former Judge Kenny said. He was an exceptional judge. It is not the first time I have made this...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Residential Tenancies (Greater Security of Tenure and Rent Certainty) Bill 2018 and Anti-Evictions Bill 2018: Discussion (20 Feb 2019)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...well-established. I was a member of the committee, which heard much eminent legal advice from constitutional lawyers and examined a number of precedents and cases. The report recommended that the Kenny report could be implemented and, generally, that the Constitution should not be used as a shelter or excuse for inaction on the rights of the public versus the rights of private property....
