Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

As Senator Brady said, it is important that voluntary groups continue to develop and strengthen. He can be assured that my Department and I will give whatever assistance we can to local voluntary housing groups. Groups who have experience of such schemes in the UK have entered the domestic market. They have done a good job and given impetus to the market by demonstrating what can be achieved. It is equally important, however, that the indigenous voluntary sector should strengthen and have the capacity to deliver in communities throughout the State. My Department and I will work to ensure that happens.
