I propose to take Questions Nos. 179 and 180 together.

I am proposing to make certain amendments to section 28 of the Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act 2016 relating to the extension of duration of certain planning permissions within the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016 which is currently progressing through the Oireachtas. It is intended that this Bill will be enacted before the Oireachtas Summer recess, which will enable me to consider commencing section 28 of the 2016 Act, as amended.
