I move amendment No. 29:

In page 17, after line 42, to insert the following: "Report on operation of Act

18.The Minister shall, within 30 months of the passing of this Act, lay a report before the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage outlining—

(a) the proportion of sites, expressed as a percentage, which have been granted LRD planning permission where construction has not commenced,

(b) the proportion of sites, expressed numerically and as a percentage, which have been granted LRD planning permission and have subsequently been sold,

(c) the proportion of land, expressed in hectares, which is the subject of LRD planning permission and is owned by real estate investment trusts, and

(d) the number of completed housing units under the LRD process which remain vacant.".

We need to know this process is delivering housing and is not being exploited for profit or dominated by the real estate investment trusts, REITs, which are not delivering the housing we need in the State.
