The other issue that needs to be addressed is that of planning and housing. I agree with the point made by the Minister of State at the Department of the Environment and Local Government, Deputy Noel Ahern, that we should not take away the power to rezone land from local councillors. It is one of the few powers that they have and it is important for local democracy that councillors retain this power. The main problem with rezoning decisions is the huge profits that can be made by landowners, the knock-on effect of which has been to drive house prices out of control. Among other measures, we must do something about windfall taxes, the State acquisition of land for the provision of housing and ensure small builders are brought in for the provision of housing. Housing is a right and decisions concerning it should not be about profit, but about the need of people to have a proper community.
