Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.

 

I wish to cite an example which involves houses built under the scheme in County Galway. I understand from the local housing officer that 56 houses were built under the affordable housing scheme in recent years. Seven were built in Abbey, Loughrea – a small village – eight in Mount Bellew, 16 in Tuam and 25 in Loughrea. I firmly believe that more houses would be built under this scheme if there was greater flexibility in its provisions. The Minister was right to consult a wide range of interests in regard to the review.
