Planning and development Bill
Anthony Lawlor asks for the planning Bill to be advanced to address delays affecting housing developments, and the Taoiseach says it will appear during the session.
I would like to ask the Taoiseach about the planning and development (No. 1) Bill. Potentially, many developments on the housing side are being delayed because people will not submit applications for planning permission because they are working under the 2000 planning regulations, in particular Part V in regard to social and affordable housing. Will the Taoiseach ensure this Bill comes before the Dáil as quickly as possible?
