Land Development Agency Bill 2021: Second Stage
Seanad Éireann — 2021-07-09
============================================================

Jerry Buttimer (FG), Labour Panel

"Split it into two" was the phrase he used and I am glad he clarified it. Housing is a generational issue. We must build more houses. There was an audit and mapping exercise done on State lands by the LDA. Please let us not have more procrastination. Let us have delivery. Let the Minister of State's legacy in the Department be one of acting, building and creating a platform for people to be able to have their own homes. This is a good Bill with regard to what we are trying to achieve. I have my reservations but I am prepared to give it a chance. We must build the synergy between local authorities, our elected members, the executive and the Department.
