Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
The Minister's point, regarding whether he should do nothing or just let the permissions not taken up wither, is well made. Some Members in this House and the other House would be up in arms if up to €500 million worth of housing was not built as a result of the withering rule. More than 74,000 units were at risk of that and if he should do nothing, we would certainly hear from the Opposition.
