Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
Ann Ormonde (Fianna Fail)
I am a local authority member and I am well aware of the weaknesses of that Part of the legislation. Something had to be done to make it workable. All of us want to increase the supply of houses, whether it is for the upper or middle classes, those who cannot afford their own homes or those who are on housing waiting lists. All of us want communities to develop so that people have a good quality of life and I share that aim. That is what Part V should have been about but it did not work.
