Vol. 1069 No. 5

Legislative and Structural Reforms to Accelerate Housing Delivery: Motion (Resumed) [Private Members]

The following motion was moved by Deputy Michael Fitzmaurice on Wednesday, 25 June 2025:
That Dáil Éireann:
acknowledges that:
— the persistent shortfall in the delivery of housing, particularly social, affordable, and cost-rental units, constitutes a structural failure of public policy;
— successive Governments have fallen short of their own housing delivery targets, and a significant proportion of zoned, developable land remains idle due to systemic delays in planning, infrastructure alignment and institutional coordination; and
— local authorities, statutory agencies, and utility providers are frequently constrained by fragmented decision-making, bureaucracy and lack of accountability, leading to protracted delivery timelines, despite the availability of zoned and demand-sensitive lands;
further recognises that:
— excessive procedural rigidity in planning, procurement, and utility coordination, while rooted in the need for accountability, has created a delivery environment that is adversarial, inefficient, and increasingly unfit for the urgency of the housing crisis; and
— a generation of young Irish people are increasingly being forced to emigrate, as any possibility of home ownership slips further out of reach, with house prices soaring and affordable supply at record lows, and many now face the harsh reality that they may never be able to buy a home or even afford to live in the communities where they were born and raised; and accordingly, calls on the Government to:
— declare a National Housing and Infrastructure Emergency and introduce time-bound emergency legislation, enabling local authorities and developers to accelerate delivery of housing on already-zoned, infrastructure-ready land;
— establish a dedicated Housing Delivery Acceleration Taskforce, reporting on a regional basis directly to the Taoiseach, comprising senior officials from the Departments of Housing, Local Government and Heritage; Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation; Transport; Uisce Éireann (formerly Irish Water); the Construction Industry Federation; ESB Executives; and Chief Executives of respective Councils, to coordinate and address cross-agency blockages, with all reports to be published quarterly;
— introduce a statutory obligation on local authorities to hold round table pre-planning meetings within 30 days of request, with minutes to be available to both parties for further reference;
— amend national planning policy to permit pre-approved, standardised housing designs for social and affordable developments, to reduce delays and professional duplication, while maintaining compliance with Building Regulations and Building Control (Amendment) Regulations 2014;
— reform rural housing guidelines, to permit housing on family-held farmland for more than one family member, subject to percolation and safety standards;
— reform planning exemption regulations, to allow for up to 63 square meter structures for modular homes, extensions, granny flats (attached/unattached), or garage conversions, with enabling legislation to be presented by 30th October, 2025;
— restrict planning objections to persons with local standing, to eliminate serial objectors;
— instruct Uisce Éireann to publish a transparent and time-bound schedule of infrastructure delivery, prioritising zones with planning permission or active land management, making additional funding available to Uisce Éireann where they meet or surpass the schedule;
— in towns with no Uisce Éireann sewage schemes, assign funding to community development companies to employ consultants that can draw up schemes to Uisce Éireann specification, enabling fast track delivery of sewage schemes in towns not covered by Uisce Éireann, and additionally, to assign funding for lands for water treatment plants and for delivery of overall project;
— ensure that Uisce Éireann recognise contractors formerly experienced in Group Water Schemes/Council Schemes (sewage/water) as competent contractors for frameworks inclusion;
— introduce a performance-linked funding model for local authorities, tied to:
— activation rates of zoned land;
— timely refurbishment and re-letting of vacant social housing units; and
— compliance with prescribed turnaround times in housing delivery processes;
— ensure high-performing councils are publicly recognised and resourced through bonus allocations, with fast-tracked funding drawdown, with underperforming council results published publicly:
— with performance of local authorities under the performance-linked metrics to be reported to the Housing Delivery Acceleration Taskforce quarterly; and
— where a local authority underperforms for three consecutive quarters, the Chief Executive Officer and Director of Housing will be called on to account for under-performance;
— require Uisce Éireann, ESB and local authorities to jointly publish a quarterly housing infrastructure delivery scorecard, detailing progress on enabling works, void turnarounds, and utility connections by county, with a focus on ensuring all zoned land is serviced;
— ensure all local authority Chief Executive contracts include performance related clauses going forward;
— develop a streamlined, fast-tracked system allowing local authorities to recoup 95 per cent of costs associated with bringing voids back into productive use within 30 days of completion, financed by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage;
— introduce a streamlined approval of Part I, Section 5 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, exemption under Croí Cónaithe, where there have been no prohibition notices linked to the property in the last seven years;
— reform procurement thresholds within six months, to allow proven small- and mid-sized public and private builders, with a track record of compliant delivery within the public or private sector in the past five years, to qualify for public housing frameworks;
— in line with European Union (EU) Value Added Tax (VAT) Directive allowances, introduce a temporarily reduced VAT rate of 5 per cent on construction materials for housing development for the term of the declared emergency;
— fast-track key apprenticeships in construction and trades by developing modular, dual-delivery formats that retain EU-mandated standards, while reducing time to certification;
— direct SOLAS, Education and Training Boards and the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, to expand access to construction skills training, particularly in regions with below-average output;
— mandate the Central Bank of Ireland and the Department of Finance to report quarterly on the proportion of residential units acquired by bulk purchasers and non-resident buyers, with a view to transparency and demand-side management; and
— upgrade all phase 2 lands to phase 1, to enable urgent building on zoned land and immediately bring infrastructure required for immediate development.
Debate resumed on amendment No. 1:
To delete all words after "Dáil Éireann" and substitute the following:
"recognises that:
— Housing for All sets out an ambitious multi-annual programme that seeks to deliver more than 300,000 new homes by 2030;
— record levels of investment are being provided for the delivery of housing in 2025, with overall capital funding now available of almost €6.8 billion;
— the capital provision for 2025 is supplemented by a further €1.65 billion in current funding to address housing need;
— over 36,700 social homes have been delivered under Housing for All to Q4 2024, and, in 2023, nearly 12,000 social homes were delivered, including 8,110 new-build social homes, the highest level of delivery of new-build social housing since 1975, and, in 2024, 10,595 social homes were delivered, including 7,871 new builds, 1,501 acquisitions and 1,223 leasing units;
— nearly 13,000 affordable housing supports have been delivered since the launch of Housing for All to December 2024, by Approved Housing Bodies, local authorities, and the Land Development Agency (LDA), alongside schemes, such as the First Home Scheme and the Vacant Property Refurbishment Grant; and
— over 7,100 affordable housing supports were delivered in 2024, the highest yearly delivery to date, exceeding that year's target of 6,400;
further recognises that:
— while housing supply has increased significantly in recent years, much more needs to be achieved;
— the measures introduced under Housing for All have helped establish a solid platform to 'scale-up' delivery of housing in the short-term and secure a sustainable level of supply that will help us meet demand;
— the measures committed to in the Programme for Government 2025, including a new housing plan, building on the successes of Housing for All, will help us meet the enormous challenge of delivering more than 300,000 new homes by 2030;
— the Government's new national housing plan will incorporate pragmatic actions to boost housing activity in the short-term, coupled with strategic deliverables to drive comprehensive systemic change, and a subsequent increase in supply into the long-term; and
— there has been record levels of investment in infrastructure under the current National Development Plan 2021 to 2030 (NDP);
acknowledges that:
— new capital investment in infrastructure, particularly to support housing targets, is being considered in the context of the ongoing review of the NDP;
— our water networks require ongoing and sustained investment, to bring these up to the required standard of treatment, to deal with population growth, and to adapt to the impacts of climate change;
— this Government is delivering a sustainable funding path to further enhance the ongoing significant improvements in our public water and wastewater services;
— record funding has been allocated between 2020 and 2024, and this will continue under the NDP 2026-2030, to prioritise water and wastewater infrastructure, and to deliver the capacity to facilitate housing development in our towns and villages;
— Uisce Éireann has ramped up capital delivery for water services and infrastructure, from €300 million in 2014, to roughly €1.3 billion in 2024, and in 2025, the Exchequer will provide just over €2.2 billion in funding to Uisce Éireann;
— in 2024, Uisce Éireann issued 4,252 connections agreements associated with 41,169 housing units;
— the Programme for Government 2025 commits to introduce statutory timelines for pre-connections, water and wastewater, and energy connection agreements, to ensure large developments can proceed without delay, and to establish a new procedure for large developments, above 100 units, where a developer can meet local authority planners and Uisce Éireann on site, to resolve issues at pre-planning stage;
— Ireland is currently experiencing high demand for new electrical connections driven by population growth, industrial development and accelerated electrification targets;
— over the last four years, ESB Networks has connected over 147,000 homes and businesses to the distribution network;
— in response to increased demand the electricity system operators, ESB Networks and EirGrid, have prepared business plans that propose significantly increased investment in the electricity grid for the period 2026-2030, and the Government looks forward to the conclusion of the Sixth Price Review by the Commission for Regulation of Utilities, which will provide a clear framework for investment in the electricity grid;
— with regard to the provision of water services, energy and roads infrastructure, Uisce Éireann, ESB and individual road authorities, have statutory responsibility for the planning, delivery and maintenance of infrastructure at local levels, and the scope, prioritisation and progression of individual projects is a matter for the respective statutory body, and is subject to obtaining the necessary consents; and
— the Housing Activation Office (HAO) being established in the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, will engage and align stakeholders, including local authorities, utility and infrastructure providers, industry and others, to ensure that infrastructure blockages are addressed in a coordinated way, in order to enable housing development;
further acknowledges that:
— significant legislative and system level reform of the planning system is progressing;
— on 30th April, 2025, Dáil Éireann approved the revised National Planning Framework (NPF), which provides the basis for the review and updating of the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy and local authority development plans to reflect critical matters, such as updated housing figures or projected jobs growth, including through the zoning of land for residential, employment and a range of other purposes;
— to see the revised NPF translated to a local basis as urgently as possible, local authorities have been advised to prepare for the process of reviewing and updating their development plans, to align with the revised NPF;
— a series of reforms have been progressed to support a well-resourced planning system, including the implementation of the Ministerial Action Plan on Planning Resources, which will strengthen the planning system and support the timely delivery of critical infrastructure and housing;
— the Government is prioritising the commencement of the Planning and Development Act 2024, on a phased basis as outlined in the Programme for Government, and that the Act represents the most comprehensive review of planning legislation since 2000, and will reform and streamline the planning process, and support timely decision making for housing and strategic infrastructure projects;
— Part 17 of the Planning and Development Act 2024 was commenced on 18th June, to enable the establishment of An Coimisiún Pleanála to replace An Bord Pleanála;
— under the Planning and Development Act 2024, the new Urban Development Zones provisions will enable the identification by local authorities of suitable locations for further housing development at scale, and the ability for the LDA and Regional Assemblies to bring appropriate sites to the attention of local authorities and the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, with work to begin as soon as possible;
— the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2025, to be enacted before this summer recess, will ensure sufficient time is given to activate planning permissions for much needed housing; and
— a review of the exempted development provisions is underway, that will provide further options for the provision of housing, with a public consultation to commence this month and updated regulations to come into force later this year;
notes that:
— Section 90 of the recently enacted Planning and Development Act 2024, provides for a pre-application consultation with planning authorities;
— the Planning and Development Act 2024, allows a member of the public to make a submission on a planning application as part of the public participation process, and the Act of 2024 will introduce a new procedure to deal with spurious planning submissions and appeals, and a submission in relation to a planning application, an appeal or a judicial review must be accompanied by a statutory declaration stating that the submission, appeal or judicial review is not being done for the purposes of delaying a development or for receiving a payment, and also, penalties were introduced in respect of anyone making a false declaration;
— updated Rural Housing Guidelines are currently being prepared by the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, which will set out relevant planning criteria to be applied in local authority development plans for rural housing, based on the high-level policy framework set by the NPF;
— in May, 2021, the Government introduced a series of measures to prevent the bulk buying of houses and duplexes by a single buyer, and to increase home ownership;
— overall, since May, 2021, a total estimate of over 50,000 houses and duplex units received planning permission, with conditions restricting the bulk purchasing or multiple sales to a single purchaser;
— a higher stamp duty on the cumulative purchase of 10 or more residential properties, excluding apartments, was increased to 15 per cent in Budget 2025; and
— the Programme for Government 2025 commits to maintaining the owner occupier guarantee in planning regulations for houses and duplexes, and keeping the stamp duty surcharges under review, to ensure they prohibit bulk purchases;
further notes that:
— the Government continues to support local authorities in the delivery of housing programmes, with almost €4.8 billion provided to the authorities in 2024, and this will increase further in 2025;
— the recently established Local Democracy Taskforce will:
— develop proposals to rebalance the power between elected councillors and the executive, including identifying opportunities to better use the existing, or specify more reserved powers/functions, and mandatory oversight responsibilities for councillors, either at plenary or municipal district level, particularly in respect of budgetary oversight;
— explore mechanisms to ensure that the policy decisions of local authority executives are transparent, and that executives must consult with and be accountable to the council for those policy decisions;
— consider ways for local authorities to increase fiscal autonomy, through the amount of own resources, including wider variation options for Local Property Tax, by reviewing existing revenue-raising and debt management options, and matched funding requirements and new/alternative revenue raising powers; and
— examine ways to ensure that local priorities for central Government grant funding are decided upon by the council;
— a concerted effort is being made to expand capacity on existing apprenticeship programmes, and Budget 2025 has seen the single largest investment in core apprenticeship funding since the formation of the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, in 2020, an increase of 83 per cent to €77.4 million, and this investment will support the continued growth of apprenticeship training capacity, with 6,319 registering to join construction and construction related programmes in 2024, a rise from 4,463 in 2019;
— the Department of Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science works with sectoral partners, such as SOLAS, the National Construction Training Centre, Skillnet Ireland, and Education and Training Boards (ETBs), to increase skills supply through the existing network of skills provision across the tertiary system;
— the number of enrolments in Nearly Zero Energy Building/Retrofit training courses, has increased steadily from 363 when the first centre opened in 2020, to 7,166 enrolments in 2024, and there has been a cumulative total of over 15,000 enrolments across the Centres of Excellence;
— the Careers in Construction Action Plan, outlines structural, promotional, and upskilling initiatives to tackle barriers to construction careers, promote career opportunities and make construction jobs more attractive to women; and
— in addition, the Future Building initiative operates jointly between the Department of Social Protection and ETBs Ireland, and works to match job seekers with training and employment opportunities in the sector, and Skillnet Ireland and CitA launched the MMC Accelerate platform in May, 2025, which includes information on training opportunities around the country; and
recognises that:
— the Government is investing record levels of capital funding in critical infrastructure, including in the areas of water and energy, and will continue to do so under the review of the NDP for the period 2025 to 2035, to be finalised by end July;
— a HAO in the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, is being established to identify and seek to address barriers to the delivery of public infrastructure projects needed to enable housing development at local level, through the alignment of funding and coordination of infrastructure providers;
— an Infrastructure Division has been established in the Department of Public Expenditure, Infrastructure, Public Service Reform and Digitalisation, that will lead a process of infrastructure reform; and
— the Government agreed to an ambitious expansion to the remit of the LDA to support the delivery of housing, including unlocking key strategic public lands for urban brownfield delivery, through infrastructure investment, and to support local authorities, the HAO and the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, in master planning and infrastructure provision in new towns and districts.".
- (Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy John Cummins)
