The Multi-Units Development Bill was enacted in 2011 but several problems have arisen for apartment owners and dwellers in the interim. The legislation should be reviewed to determine its impact on apartment owners and those living in apartments. I ask the Leader to invite the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government to the House to discuss the legislation and the changes needed to improve apartment living and make it more affordable.

The recently launched Climate Action Plan 2019 is very welcome. Concerns have been raised about overruns on capital projects such as the children's hospital. In that context, there is a need for Ministers with responsibility for delivering on Project Ireland 2040 to come to the House to discuss delivery under that plan and the changes that will need to be made in the context of the climate action strategy and the aforementioned overruns.
