Michael McGrath (FF), Cork South-Central

Tuath Housing and Dublin City Council need to come back with a response on the issue. At the level of principle where amenities or facilities are being provided for development, they must be provided to all. How people came to occupy the property, whether it be Part V or private purchase, should not be the basis of denying anybody access to shared amenities. As the Deputy said, these were build-to-rent standard. That is the principle and that is the policy. We will ask the bodies to come back on the detail of this and lessons may need to be learned about at what point in the process to pin down exactly the application and treatment of Part V and where the units are going to be. It should not require planning conditions to ensure that all residents of a development be treated equally and have access to all the facilities and amenities in a development. If that is what it takes, that will need to be done.
