Kenny Report recommendations
Quinn asked whether the Minister would legislate on the majority recommendations; Burke referred to the Government’s building-land proposals and a planned select committee, with nothing further to add.
asked the Minister for the Environment if he now formally accepts the recommendations of the Kenny Report; and, if so, if he has specific proposals to introduce legislation based exclusively on the recommendations of the majority report; and if he will make a statement on the matter clearly indicating when such legislation will be introduced.
Comment on this
I would refer the Deputy to the very recent debate in this House on the Local Government (Building Land) Bill and in particular to my statement and to those of the Ministers of State at my Department on the subject, where the Government's proposals for dealing with building land prices and related matters were explained and the proposal announced to establish a select committee to go into all aspects of the land prices question. I have nothing further to add on the matter at this stage.
