Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
This issue should be taken up by the Department, as difficulties may arise at local authority level. This is one of the reasons the scheme might not be as successful as we had hoped it would be. An affordable housing scheme is an excellent idea, but bureaucracy, to which the Minister referred, has hindered the provision of extra housing. I would like to see improvements in the scheme, where possible, especially when many of the suggestions for improvements have come from local authorities.
