Housing for All: Statements
Dail Éireann — 2021-09-28
============================================================

Richard Bruton (FG), Dublin Bay North

I know many people in this House do not want the Minister to succeed. I want this to succeed. I want us to fix the housing problem by looking pragmatically at every solution, not standing on our little territories and refusing to allow private building on public lands. That sort of approach has stalled the delivery of homes and makes our local authorities unable to step up to this challenge. I welcome what the Minister is trying to do here. It is the right direction. We need to make it work. I hope there will be more co-operation when we get into committees and down into the councils to see this work at ground level.
