Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2025: Committee and Remaining Stages
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-09
============================================================

Thomas Gould (SF), Cork North-Central

Reporting mechanisms, collection of data, transparency and knowing what is happening are at the heart of this motion. We have to ensure that genuine actors who want to develop and deliver units - houses and apartments - can do that with support, but we also have to prevent people coming in to speculate. By collecting this data, we will all know what is happening, as will the public. That is why it is an important amendment. The Minister might not take it on but he certainly could look at it.
