Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2008: Report and Final Stages
2:00 pm
Ivana Bacik (Independent)
I move amendment No. 34:
In page 35, between lines 30 and 31, to insert the following:
"(a) the promotion of good estate management,".
We debated these amendments on Committee Stage, in addition to amendments Nos. 35, 37 and 38. I had sought to insert these amendments, plus another amendment on which we voted on Committee Stage and therefore is no longer before the House. The intention was to improve the provisions on anti-social behaviour. I regret that the Minister did not accept them on Committee Stage. I accept he indicated that he would consult the Parliamentary Counsel on the amendment that was put to a vote, so I understand there might be a further development in that regard at a later stage. Perhaps the Minister of State will tell us more now. I would have welcomed hearing from him some of the result of the discussion or consultation with the Parliamentary Counsel, not just on this principle but on other matters raised by colleagues.
