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

 

We are all victims of our environment. If one puts everybody in the one place, they will all come out thinking as one. I am glad to see these new houses and apartments coming on stream. The meagre resources the people concerned had were going to pay for the upkeep of run-down houses with no heating or insulation. I welcome anything that will improve the housing stock. This measure is somewhat developer-led. I worry that it is a case of the tail wagging the dog. I hope it is not. I welcome any arrangements that will redefine and streamline Part V. The Bill is an honest attempt to provide for and integrate people in various communities.
