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

Thomas Gould (SF), Cork North-Central

Deputy Matthews spoke earlier. I know Deputy Matthews is a new Teachta Dála but I would invite him to contact any local authority or to come to County Cork. We have buildings in North Main Street in Cork city that are crumbling. Cork City Council has to look at compulsory purchase because the compulsory purchase provisions were not strong enough. It is the same in this Bill. It will not go far enough to get what we need, which is land to build houses on.
