Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.
We must strike a balance between the various needs in order to encourage more integration. I do not wish to single out one authority, but Fingal County Council is delivering the greatest number of social and affordable housing units. The council has worked well and imaginatively with developers. Everybody understands the obligations on developers to deliver. The local managers have used flexibility, even though it was not specifically outlined in the Bill, to obtain volume and delivery. Fingal's approach is based on social integration and it is working.
