Affordable Housing Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Seanad Éireann — 2021-05-31
============================================================

Alice-Mary Higgins (IND), National University of Ireland

I move amendment No. 21:
In page 9, between lines 13 and 14, to insert the following:
“(3) Notwithstanding any national regulations which may be set out, a housing authority may specify such additional criteria in respect of the determination of affordability as it believes appropriate before entering into an agreement under subsection (2).”.
I reserve the right to reintroduce amendment No. 21 on Report Stage. I am hoping the Minister of State might actually engage with some of the subject matter during the course of his incorporation of amendment No. 15 from Senator Fitzpatrick.
