Paul Coghlan (Fine Gael)

I wish to raise with the Leader reports that the State is going to make land available to building developers for the purpose of constructing affordable housing, as well as other possibilities for freeing up land – such as a referendum on property rights – enhanced compulsory purchase orders and a "use it or lose it" clause in planning conditions attaching to grants or permissions. How does the Government propose to tie down the builders? The Taoiseach has stated that a mere 19 building developers control all of the commuter belt land around Dublin.
