Affordable Housing Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Seanad Éireann — 2021-06-18
============================================================

John Cummins (FG), Labour Panel

I appreciate what Senator Higgins seeks to achieve with the amendment but it is not necessary to include it in this section or in primary legislation because this is something that happens anyway. Local authorities that are engaged in Part 8 processes to develop units must consider everything that is listed in the amendment. The local authorities, the LDA and all of these of organisations readily engage with such information when they develop their plans to develop housing, in general, let alone affordable housing.
