- Planning and Development (Amendment) Regulations 2018: Motion (25 Jan 2018)
Richard Boyd Barrett: There is an overriding need to get empty units back into use. I do not have a problem with the Irish Water side of things. On change of use, the overriding imperative is to get over-the-shop units into use. There are many such units in Dún Laoghaire.

Richard Boyd Barrett: I want to ask one question. I accept some of what the Minister is saying, although the very precarious situation in Dún Laoghaire, because of the rents, is going to be true as well on a whole range of other fronts because everything is just so much higher. Is it not misleading to take people off the list when they are in HAP? I accept some HAP tenancies work. The Minister might argue...
