Affordable Housing: Motion [Private Members] (8 May 2024) See 2 other results from this debate

Gino Kenny: ...that all landlords are bad but this money could be better spent on improving affordability, sociability and availability. That is the key to what we are talking about. I will make a final point. I have heard a lot about the Kenny report. I hope I will be corrected if I am wrong but this report was published in 1973. As far as I know, it was produced by a special committee of the...

Cian O'Callaghan: ...is not being used. What I am seeking to ensure, therefore, is that it is used. I am not seeking to have people's lands acquired by compulsory purchase order at discounts below market values. The Kenny report referred to the existing land-use value plus a margin of 25% as a means of compensation. I am not proposing that there would be an uplift of 25% on the market value because I do...

Ivana Bacik: ...Labour Party believe that planning permission should not be used as a means to increase the value of land for sale. We have other amendments in as well looking at implementing some key aspects of the Kenny report.

Housing and Homeless Prevention: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (23 Jan 2024) See 1 other result from this debate

Catherine Connolly: ...a Labour Party conference on the unaffordability of housing. I remember pointing to headlines in The Irish Times at the time on the cost of housing. Does the Minister of State, Deputy O'Donnell, remember the Kenny report? It was published more than half a century ago - 51 years ago. It told us there was a huge problem at the time and we needed to give local authorities power to acquire...

Investment Funds Trading in the Residential Property Market: Motion [Private Members] (17 Jan 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: ...on the rent or the price per square metre that can be charged in respect of the homes on that land. Zoning for affordable housing is something that works well in Vienna and could be done here. Of course, we need the implementation of the Kenny report. It is 50 years since it was published. The Government still is not doing that. There are solutions the Government could take to make...

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (7 Dec 2023)

Ivana Bacik: ...of Chartered Surveyors Ireland today. The Government is pricing far too many people out of a home and could do much more to address this, such as by passing our Labour Party Bill to implement the Kenny report, or by launching a proactive construction recruitment programme to bring in more construction workers. Yet, we know that some of the price increases that people face when trying to...

Renters: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members] (5 Dec 2023)

Ivana Bacik: ...the crisis of housing. Most recently, in the Seanad, Labour Senators tabled a motion on tackling vacancy and dereliction to deliver homes to a greater extent. We tabled a Bill to implement the Kenny report to control the price of building on land. We tabled a Dáil motion calling on Government to use the winter eviction ban last year to ease the immense pressures on families in the...

Cian O'Callaghan: ...need to improve access to housing for Travellers and people with disabilities. The provisions on compulsory purchase orders, CPOs, need to be strengthened. There is also a lack of measures to implement the recommendations of the Kenny report. Another thing missing from this Bill are use-it-or-lose-it measures that were promised by the Minister. Also missing is the land value sharing...

Seanad: Housing For All: Statements (7 Nov 2023)

Michael McDowell: ...is required, including in respect of the compulsory purchase of land, the valuation of land, property prices, land banks and all the rest of it. I am convinced, on the basis of going back to the Kenny report, that there is no constitutional reason the Government cannot do its job. In that context, I remind us all that the Housing Act 1966 conferred and imposed on every housing authority...

Finance (No. 2) Bill 2023: Second Stage (24 Oct 2023)

Gerald Nash: ...it is not for the want of small but, taken in the round, expensive and ineffectual tax reliefs worth a few hundred euro a year. The residential zoned land tax is a policy innovation that was needed a long time ago. Arguably, its motives were in the spirit of the famed Kenny report. It is unconscionable that landowners, some of whom may have been made very rich overnight by the rezoning...

...to support development, including housing. The measure is therefore closely related to the existing development contributions scheme arrangements connected to the grant of planning permission for development. Finally, since the Kenny report was published, a number of land capture mechanisms have been introduced by the State. There is a VAT rate of 13.5% on new homes. There are also the...

...LVS, and urban development zones, UDZs, and the need to address the levels of land speculation experienced in areas of high demand. Moreover, it is a positive step forward to have the recommendations of the Kenny report incorporated into legislation.

...purchase orders, CPOs, to acquire land, taking into account the land value contribution. We have said that we think it should apply, not just within a UDZ, but to all. That goes back to the idea from the Kenny report that a local authority should be enabled to engage in active land management. Certainly, when there is a whole pile of different landowners and one is trying to get...

...as the Chair has already introduced us. I thank the joint committee for its engagement with the Department on the development of proposals to bring about significant planning reform. Since the Kenny report of 1973 on the price of building land, and for some time before that, the relationship between the decisions made by the State to confer development potential on land and the value...

Vacant Homes Tax: Motion [Private Members] (19 Apr 2023)

Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (9 Feb 2023)

Ivana Bacik: ...extension of the eviction ban to the end of the year and the strengthening of the tenant in situscheme. We ask for fast-tracking of our constructive legislative proposals: our homeless families Bill, our renters’ rights Bill and our Kenny report Bill. All of those, if adopted and enacted by the Government, could and would make a real difference in addressing the housing crisis.
