Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Report and Final Stages
Dail Éireann — 2021-06-30
============================================================

Mattie McGrath (IND), Tipperary

I am disappointed because the debate on this Bill is being guillotined. When the Minister's party was in opposition, and even when it was a part of the confidence and supply arrangement, it railed against the guillotining of legislation, rushing it through and not taking amendments. What kind of message is it sending to the public? Is it a message of "do as I do and not as I say"? The Minister has set his face against taking any of the amendments. As I said at the start, some of the amendments may reflect a fundamental difference of belief about how housing should be delivered but there are some very good amendments. Some people have gone to the time of putting them down and the Minister is pushing through this Bill with little debate.
