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

 

I ask the Minister to consider this issue, about which I feel strongly. There have been housing schemes where a local person could not quote for windows which had to be brought in from Denmark because something unique was required. The Minister should look at the plans being produced for local authority estates, especially the implications for space, and recognise that the tenants are entitled to the same space as those moving into private developments. If he does this, he will have done something important about social housing rather than talking about the grandiose figure of 20%, which was never sustainable in the first place.
