Housing Policy
Dail Éireann — 2020-07-23
============================================================

Aodhán Ó Ríordáin (LAB), Dublin Bay North

I want to ask the Minister about the strategic housing development Act brought in by the previous Government and if he is conducting a review of that Act. I understand that Act and its provisions are to continue until mid-2022.
It is controversial legislation. It overrides local authorities and their planning processes and has led to much upset and controversy in local communities. I want to get a sense from the Minister of the plan of the Government to renew the terms of the Act.
