- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: Seanad amendments Nos. 1 and 2 relate to section 1, which sets out the Short Title and a standard technical provision providing for the commencement of the Bill. Amendment No. 1 moves the collective citation relating to the Residential Tenancies Act from Part 24 to Part 1 in order that all collective citations are contained together in section 1. This increases clarity for the reader. ...

- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: On a point of order, to be helpful, when speaking on the Government amendments, the Minister might address our amendments to the amendments. That will allow us to get through the work a bit more quickly.
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: I will do that. As I said, there are five proposed amendments to amendment No. 2. Amendments Nos. 1, 5, 6 and 7 to amendment No. 2, tabled by Deputies Ó Broin and Gould, seek to insert new subsections into section 1 of the Bill relating to proposed new reporting requirements. They propose that the Minister should report on the Bill's compliance with the Aarhus Convention before...
- Planning and Development Bill 2023: From the Seanad (9 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I have submitted a number of amendments to Seanad amendment No. 2. We have three hours to go through 175 pages of amendments. Some of the amendments are relatively straightforward and technical in nature but many of them are not. Many substantively change key aspects of the legislation. Late last night, we received another eight pages of substitute amendments, one of which is the second...
- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Thomas Gould: On cost rental, 27 homes are planned for Cork city in 2024 and none for next year. Cork City Council hit its target earlier than probably most local authorities, but the problem is that the targets for cost rental in Cork were so low that the council will finish them this year and there are none in the pipeline. I have issues with cost rental in Cork because I do not think it is as...

- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: I thank Members for their input. This is important legislation, which we debated on Second Stage as well. It will be appreciated by the approved housing body sector to deal with the AHBRA registration issue, and to legislate for the cost-rental tenant in situ scheme and for changes we have just discussed with regard to cost rental as the sector continues to grow throughout the country. I...

- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: This is one of the sections of the Bill I was referring to yesterday when I said it would have been preferable if this had gone through the ordinary legislative process. If I may, I will take a second to highlight the particular concern. Why have cost rental landlords like the LDA asked for this provision? It is something they have been very open about in their conversations with many of...
- Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2024: Committee and Remaining Stages (9 Oct 2024)
Darragh O'Brien: I have met cost rental tenants, single individuals, who have rented cost rental properties on their own. This mechanism is not brought in as a cost reduction measure for the AHB partners or indeed the LDA partners. The Deputy will have a view on that. I will just say it is not. As the Deputy has outlined already, at different times of their lives, people may want to share. Right now, the...
