Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Financing of Social Housing: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

...delivery by housing associations and local authorities. Land initiatives potentially can have the most significant and positive long-term impact on the housing and land markets. Nothing has been done since the Kenny report and the report of the all-party Oireachtas committee in 2003. This will assist in the provision of housing, both social housing and other tenures, where affordability...

Seanad: Update on Rebuilding Ireland: Statements (18 Oct 2018)

Damien English: ...a national centre of expertise for State bodies and local authorities, using experienced staff with expertise in project management finance, planning, development and procurement. For the first time, the Government will create a State body to deliver on the key principles of the Kenny report of 1973 and the National Economic and Social Council's latest research, targeting land management...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Appropriate Use of Public Land: Discussion (17 Oct 2018)

...that is economical to those who require such development, whether for housing or other purposes - will not happen without a more proactive role by the State in land management terms. From the Kenny report of 1973 to the National Economic and Social Council’s report on land of last March, to international experience in other jurisdictions to which Mr. Cussen alluded, there is a...

Financial Resolutions 2019 - Budget Statement 2019 (9 Oct 2018)

Alan Kelly: ...of rents to the consumer price index, CPI? It is nowhere to be seen. There must be a mass injection of capital into housing, as the Labour Party has proposed. Local authorities must be given the power to make compulsory purchase orders. The Kenny report must be implemented, and CPI-based rents must be introduced. That is what is required in the area of housing, but it has not...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (Resumed) (27 Sep 2018)

Eoghan Murphy: ...State bodies and local authorities, using experienced staff with expertise in project management finance, planning, development and procurement. For the first time, the Government will create a State body to deliver on the key principles of the Kenny report of 1973 and NESC’s latest research, targeting land management and housing delivery that is intended to underpin the delivery...

Confidence in the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government: Motion [Private Members] (25 Sep 2018)

Alan Kelly: ...could be left in premises, even where they were being sold. there is a serious ideological issue. It was an issue was across the House even before I was born. It concerns the non-implementation of the Kenny report on land and land values. The Government that eventually bites that bullet and deals with the principles outlined in that good report dating from 1973 will do the State a...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Cost Rental Housing Model: Discussion (12 Jul 2018)

...happen overnight. It will take five, ten, 15 or even 20 years of cultural shift. We have to realise that we are grappling with 40 years of bad social policy, starting with the sidelining of the Kenny report in 1974 and the implications that has had for land values and land management over four decades, the dropping of a modest proposal to tax vacant sites in the 2014 budget and the...

Urban Regeneration and Housing (Amendment) Bill 2018: Second Stage [Private Members] (3 Jul 2018) See 8 other results from this debate

Mick Wallace: ...? This is so frustrating. If the House did nothing else this year other than deal with the issue of landbanking, it would not solve every problem overnight because Rome was not built in a day, but it was started. We have not even started. The Kenny report came up with an idea, but I am not suggesting we use that report, since that will never happen. The Bill's measures would have a...

Urban Regeneration and Housing (Amendment) Bill 2018: First Stage (21 Jun 2018)

Mick Wallace: ...levy had been designed to fail and not to prevent or discourage landbanking. It has not done so. I know that it has not even been collected, but it has not affected the price of land being banked. The Kenny report dates back to 1974. The truth of the matter is that no Government in the history of the State has had the courage to do what needs to be done to tackle landbanking. The...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (13 Jun 2018)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...now. This is unacceptable. The Government needs to address land hoarding via the types of measures many of us have put forward. The Labour Party has specifically argued for implementation of the Kenny report, which would deter land hoarding, and for the vacant sites levy to be brought forward and increased. It is wrong that public land is being used for private profit while at the time...

Other Questions: Vacant Sites (27 Mar 2018)

Mick Wallace: ...land. The vacant site register is not catching those who are landbanking due to the many holes in the vacant site levy. Will the Minister consider introducing a proper tax on land? Ever since the Kenny report, as far back as 1974, successive Governments have refused to do what is necessary and it has led to untold damage to the manner in which we supply housing in the country.

Leaders' Questions (13 Feb 2018)

Tommy Broughan: ...the Constitution, robust legislation on tenants' rights, rents and standards of accommodation, a ban on evictions of citizens, families and children into homelessness and a land management policy based on the Kenny report and necessary compulsory purchase orders, CPOs. These demands are echoed by the Campaign for Public Housing which I also support. As part of this programme, will the...

Affordable Housing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (1 Feb 2018)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...by local authorities on the compulsory acquisition of land for social and affordable housing, along the lines recommended in the report of the Committee on the Price of Building Land in 1973, the Kenny report, so that such land could be compulsorily acquired at existing use values, plus 25%, which was agreed to by the All-Party Oireachtas Committee on the Constitution in 2004 to be a...

Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (30 Jan 2018) See 1 other result from this debate

Jan O'Sullivan: I welcome the motion, which we support. I thank Deputy Ó Broin for indicating that Sinn Féin will accept our amendment, which seeks to implement the recommendations of the Kenny report that were designed to stop land hoarding. There is evidence that people are sitting on land to make a greater profit. This would be a long-term way of ensuring affordable land is available for...

Housing (Homeless Families) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (15 Nov 2017) See 1 other result from this debate

Brendan Howlin: .... It is unfortunate that the Government decided not to support the Bill. Fianna Fáil did not support it either and it died. However, it had three important components. First was the implementation of the Kenny report after decades to control the price of building land. If we do not do that, we will head into another crisis. I have listened to learned legal opinion that this is a...

Housing: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (26 Oct 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...to meet, they undoubtedly relate to concerns which, in a free and democratic society, should be regarded as pressing and substantial’; notes in particular the Committee's conclusion that the recommendations of the Kenny Report on the Price of Building Land would survive constitutional scrutiny; believes, therefore, that the Constitution of Ireland can no longer be used as a...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (24 Oct 2017) See 2 other results from this debate

Séamus Healy: ..., and it has. It has led to the slippery slope of the housing and homeless emergency we have today. It has led to a tripling of the numbers on the housing waiting lists since 1996. The Labour Party amendment is totally disingenuous. It claims the Kenny report would apparently now survive constitutional scrutiny. The Kenny report, which people may or may not know, was published in 1974...

Other Questions: Tax Collection (24 Oct 2017)

Eamon Ryan: ...to hoard land. Rather than being a disincentive for owners to dispose of land, it is actually an incentive for people to speculate on, store and hoard land. Have we learned nothing from that Kenny report? The legislative provision to which I refer was introduced as a practical way to introduce Mr. Justice Kenny's recommendations. There would have been constitutional difficulties in the...

Housing: Motion [Private Members] (27 Sep 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: .... We would have added another area to the motion. I accept that Sinn Féin wished to be specific on particular issues and that there are many matters that could be included, but our proposal regarding the Kenny report relates to the issue of hoarding building land. We wish to see that implemented as well. There is certainly evidence now that much-needed building land is being sat...

An Bille um an gCúigiú Leasú is Tríocha ar an mBunreacht (Ceart chun Tithíochta), 2017: An Dara Céim [Comhaltaí Príobháideacha] - Thirty-fifth Amendment of the Constitution (Right to Housing) Bill 2017: Second Stage [Private Members] (20 Sep 2017)

Jan O'Sullivan: ...a vacant homes tax, the vacant sites levy, which will retrospectively come in at the beginning of next year, and also, as the Labour Party has proposed by way of legislation, the implementation of the Kenny report to control the cost of building land and to stop developers from hoarding land. All these measures would be strengthened if there were a constitutional right to a home. It is...
