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

 

Senator Terry indicated that in certain parts of the country problems did not arise with the Part V provisions of the 2000 Act. As I understand it, nothing in the Bill will preclude Fingal County Council or other local authorities from adhering to the old provisions, but it allows greater flexibility to those councils and authorities which had difficulties with the 2000 Act. It means they will be in a better position to provide accommodation for those who need it. Greater supply at this end of the market will ensure a greater number of houses overall which will mean that more people will be able to secure their own home.
