Seanad: Affordable Housing Bill 2021: Committee Stage (28 May 2021)

Sharon Keogan: ...means for the current development plans. Certainly, the national planning framework needs a complete review at this time. I will talk about Meath. Currently, the local authority in Meath has no land where it can provide any housing. It has absolutely no land on which to build social or affordable housing. It is at a complete disadvantage. What is it doing? It is dezoning land. We...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (16 May 2023)

Mr. Robert Keran: The IPI cannot answer the question the Senator asked about land values and projections on land values today. However, the point we are making in point 6 of our submission is that it is important the land value sharing, LVS, contribution relate to all zoned land as opposed to being limited to newly zoned land. That point has been well articulated in the statement. It is...

Committee on Budgetary Oversight: Economic and Fiscal Position: Economic and Social Research Institute (7 Sep 2016)

Dr. Kieran McQuinn: The basic idea is that it penalises people who are hoarding land that could be used for development. In research across various jurisdictions, we considered what policy measures had been used to stimulate housing supply. A site tax was used in the Danish case and seemed to yield quite significant results. There are a number of ways in which this can operate. If...

Written Answers — Department of Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government: Local Authority Housing (16 Sep 2016)

Select Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach: Finance Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (18 Nov 2021)

Paschal Donohoe: I have been told that it has to be an authorised presence on that land. For example, it would have to have a licence. To bring to life the Deputy's point, let us say that we have a piece of land that is zoned for residential use, and in that piece of land there is a small section that Revenue deems is being used in such a way that it is important to the operation of commercial life within...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Housing Agency (28 Apr 2016)

Brendan Ryan: My main question was on the mortgage-to-rent scheme. I have another issue with land ownership. Some lands, previously in the ownership of local authorities, have been transferred to the Housing Agency as a means of, perhaps, getting them off the local authorities' books. What is the process of getting those lands back into play, or are all such Housing Agency lands currently in play? We...

Written Answers — Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine: Land Acquisition (1 Jun 2017)

Michael Creed: I am aware of the recent increase in land prices. The value of land is of course governed by the laws of supply and demand and for those selling land this is, of course, a positive development.

Mr. Robert Watt: No. The Valuation Office would be given a mandate and remit. The valuation of a piece of land depends on its current use and prospective use based on the rezoning of the land. It is never clear-cut. If one has a field that is worth €10,000 per acre but if one has it rezoned, it becomes worth a lot more. There is a broader issue in regard to land which is arising...
