Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.
The Senator knows that if I were to say something and not secure it, I would have to come back here to explain why I did not secure it. This provision demonstrates the capacity to spread the yield and indicates the amount of money which might accrue to the local authorities. The decision I made was subjective and was based on achieving a balance in terms of what I thought I could obtain and what was deemed to be fair. It is a measure which will not restrict housing supply and which will be of benefit to local authorities.
