Modular housing in Ballymun
Dessie Ellis asks whether legislation is needed to accelerate modular housing, including 22 units in Poppintree; the Taoiseach says the local authority is acting lawfully because of the urgent situation.
There are plans to put modular housing in five designated areas throughout Dublin, and 22 of these are supposed to be placed on a site in Poppintree, Ballymun, before Christmas. According to the Minister, Deputy Kelly, the procurement process can be speeded up to do this.

I am coming to that. Can the Taoiseach confirm this is the case or is legislation required, because it could be open to challenge-----

I am asking the Taoiseach if the Cabinet discussed whether legislation was required.

This is a very important issue. We are talking about delivering modular housing before Christmas. Has this been discussed?

It is under the housing Bill. I am asking whether this has been discussed.
