Ryan O'Meara (FF), Tipperary North

Housing is the single greatest issue facing my generation. We need to fully embrace modern methods of construction. I will focus on modular-style homes and log cabin buildings or whatever name one wants to give them. I welcome the discussion on planning permission exemptions for backyard-style extensions or developments but we need to move beyond that. Will the Government consider expanding planning permission to modular and log cabin-style homes beyond what is currently being discussed? There is massive scope in that regard. I appreciate it will not be the single solution but it is part of the solution. I ask for consideration of that matter.
