478. Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage when he will introduce legislation on a directly elected mayor for Dublin; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51458/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe 2022 Dublin Citizens’ Assembly was asked to consider the type of directly elected mayor and local government structures best suited for Dublin. Its final report was presented to the then Taoiseach in January 2023. In June 2023, the Houses of the Oireachtas referred the report to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage for consideration of its recommendations and the Committee reported back in December 2023.
The Citizens’ Assembly Report proposed the holding of a plebiscite on the question of a Dublin Mayor. While supporting such an approach, the Committee’s Report recommended that a plebiscite be held only after a General Scheme of a Bill for a Dublin Mayor was developed so that there is full clarity on the detail of the proposal. The Programme for Government commits to supporting the office of the Directly Elected Mayor of Limerick and considering further plebiscites in Dublin and other cities. The Dublin Citizens' Assembly report and recommendations, and the Committee's Report, are under consideration by my Department.
The Local Democracy Taskforce, a key commitment in the Programme for Government, was established in July 2025 with the purpose of bringing forward a suite of reforms across the Local Government Sector. The Taskforce presented its final report on 4 March 2026.
An implementation plan is currently being drafted with a view to bringing the report and implementation to plan to Government for consideration shortly. Following this, the report and implementation plan will be published and the process of implementing the reform policy ultimately agreed by Government will commence.
479. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the date on which the preliminary business case for the Cork Event Centre, submitted by Cork City Council in December 2025, was or will be approved by his Department; whether the 12 to 18 month timeframe for completion of the new procurement process, State aid clearance and planning compliance, as set out in the Government decision of 22 October 2024, has now been exceeded; and if he will provide a revised timeline for delivery. [51462/26]
Amharc ar fhreagra480. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of parties that have formally registered interest or submitted expressions of interest in the new Cork Event Centre procurement process to date; the projected date by which a preferred bidder will be selected; and the specific milestones his Department expects Cork City Council to reach in 2026 (details supplied). [51463/26]
Amharc ar fhreagra481. Deputy Ken O'Flynn asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the current estimate of total State aid required to deliver the Cork Event Centre, beyond the €57 million already approved; the status of a company's (details supplied) planning permission for the South Main Street site, including whether it has lapsed; whether a fresh planning application will be required; and the total exchequer expenditure on the project to date, broken down by year since 2014. [51464/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 479, 480 and 481 together.
The Cork Events Centre (CEC), which will provide a venue for concerts, conferences, community events and contribute to the economic and social development of Cork and the Southern Region, was included as a Government commitment under the revised National Development Plan in 2021. The Government decision of 22 October 2024 re-affirmed this commitment as well as ongoing Exchequer funding support for an Events Centre in Cork City, given its strategic alignment with the growth ambition for Cork as set out in the National Planning Framework and the National Development Plan. A commitment to “work towards the completion of the Cork Events Centre to enhance Cork’s cultural landscape and boost the city’s regeneration” has also been included in the Programme for Government.
As required by the Government decision, a Project Development Board (PDB), led by Cork City Council (CCC), has been established and meets every month (except last August) with 17 meetings taking place to date. It is chaired by Cork City Council and includes members from my Department, the Chief State Solicitor's Office, local business representatives bodies, University College Cork and an independent member with relevant expertise.
AECOM has been procured by CCC as the Project Management Delivery Team (PMDT), a multidisciplinary team with the appropriate expertise to manage the project through all stages of the project lifecycle. It is responsible for planning and executing the project, including the procurement process, and delivering high-quality results on time and within budget in that respect.
Supported by AECOM, CCC submitted a Preliminary Business Case (PBC) for the project to my Department in December 2025. The PBC was reviewed in accordance with the Infrastructure Guidelines and was subsequently approved in April 2026.
Immediately thereafter, CCC initiated a two-phase procurement process which is now well advanced. A number of submissions have been received for the first (pre-qualification) phase of this process. The assessment of these submissions is underway and is expected to be completed in the autumn.
In the meantime, the tender documents for the final tender phase are also in the process of being prepared and will issue following completion of the first phase. The process to select a preferred bidder will follow. The timeframe for completion of these processes will depend, in the first instance, on the outcome of the assessment process for the first procurement phase.
Given the position with respect to the procurement process as outlined above, it would not be appropriate for me to comment on any matter that is the subject of that process at this time, including details of any expressions of interest or the level of available State Aid.
I can confirm that I have been reporting to Government on progress with the project, most recently in April, and will continue to do so as it progresses through the project lifecycle.
Expenditure to date by Cork City Council on the project is €2,856,102, all of which is Exchequer funded. It can be broken down as follows:
2024 - €1,604,551.
2025 - €641,041.
2026 - €610,510.
483. Deputy Roderic O'Gorman asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will consider amendments to apartment design guidelines to protect inhabitants from the adverse health consequences of extreme heat (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51553/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraOn 9 June, a public consultation was opened on the Draft Planning Design Standards for Apartments National Planning Statement 2026 and associated SEA Environmental Report and Non-Technical Summary.
The Draft NPS set out for consistent application by all planning authorities and An Coimisiún Pleanála, the particular design parameters that will apply to apartment development, where the principle of the development of apartments at any particular site has already been established in accordance with the statutory plan and consideration of the policies, objectives and requirements of the Sustainable Residential Development and Compact Settlement Guidelines, issued as Ministerial Guidelines in 2024. Policies contained in the draft NPS include matters relating to:
• Apartment mix.
• Apartment sizes.
• Dual aspect.
• Floor ceiling heights.
• Lift and Stair Cores.
• Communal, Community and Cultural Facilities.
• Shared Accommodation/Co-living Developments.
• Purpose-Built Student Accommodation.
Other issues to be addressed in the draft NPS include, security considerations, access and services, waste management facilities, children’s play areas, bicycle parking/storage and car parking.
Submissions or observations were invited in relation to the draft National Planning Statement and the associated precautionary SEA Environmental Report and Non-Technical Summary until 5:30pm on 7 July 2026. Submissions will be reviewed and considered in the finalisation of the NPS.
Regulation 8(c) of European Union (Energy Performance of Buildings) Regulations 2019 (S.I. No. 183 of 2019) requires that the energy performance requirements of new dwellings shall be met by limiting the heat loss and, where appropriate, availing of heat gain through the fabric of the building.
Technical Guidance Document L (TGD L) to the Building Regulations provides for the assessment of overheating risk in new dwellings. Where an overheating risk is indicated in the Dwelling Energy Assessment Procedure during the design phase, Section 1.3.5 of TGD L refers to guidance from the Chartered Institute of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE) document CIBSE TM 59 to ensure overheating is avoided for normally occupied, naturally ventilated spaces and CIBSE TM 37 provides recommendations and further guidance to reduce or avoid solar overheating.
A 2019 SEAI Research report on overheating risk in dwellings describes mitigating measures which can be adopted in new dwellings at risk of overheating available at the following link: www.seai.ie/sites/default/files/plan-your-energy-journey/for-your-business/standards/nearly-zero-energy-building-standard/Overheating-risk-in-new-dwellings.pdf.
My Department is preparing a further report assessing overheating risk in dwellings under future climate change conditions using more extreme future weather files.
When assessing the risk of overheating Met Éireann provide future weather files for modelling overheating risk to 2100 for Dublin, Cork, Limerick, Birr, Belmullet and Clones available at: www.met.ie/climate/available-data/climate-data-for-thermal-modelling-of-buildings.
484. Deputy Albert Dolan asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to provide the web link to his Department’s Q2 2026 published report of purchase orders/payments over €20,000, in line with the FOI model publication scheme requirements; to confirm the date on which this report was published; and, if it has not yet been published, the planned publication date. [51567/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Procurement Related Payments over €20,000 report for period Q1 of 2026 is currently being prepared and will be published by end of Q3 2026. Once this has been completed and published, my Department will collate and prepare the report for period Q2 of 2026. It is intended to make both reports available at the following address:/www.gov.ie/en/department-of-housing-local-government-and-heritage/collections/procurement-related-payments-over-20000-euro/.
485. Deputy Darren O'Rourke asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to confirm that existing small landlords are excluded from the new RAS scheme launched recently; the rationale behind this; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51581/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraExisting small landlords are not excluded from the recently launched Dublin Rental Accommodation Scheme (RAS) Pilot when bringing new units into the scheme.
The Dublin RAS Pilot is an enhanced version of the existing Private RAS delivery stream and is open to all eligible private landlords, regardless of the size of their property portfolio, subject to meeting the scheme's requirements.
The Pilot, which is operating across the four Dublin local authority areas for an initial three year period, is testing a range of enhanced measures designed to increase landlord participation in RAS, strengthen the scheme and support more households to access secure, long term accommodation. These measures reflect recommendations contained in the Department's 'Review of the Future of the Rental Accommodation Scheme', published in January 2025.
The outcomes of the pilot will be evaluated and will help inform the future development of national RAS policy.
486. Deputy Cathal Crowe asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he plans to make it a legal requirement for title documentations including historic Tailte Éireann instruments, planning documentation and an updated certificate of compliance to be gathered and ready before a house is listed for sale; if he will consider such proposals to speed up the length of time between a property going sale agreed and being sold; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51660/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraIn July 2024, the Government approved the Report of the Expert Group on Conveyancing and Probate. The report identified the main causes of delays to these processes, along with recommendations to address them. An Implementation Group was subsequently established to oversee the delivery of the recommendations.
Among the key findings from the Expert Group’s Report was that there are often problems where important information about a property is not available ‘upfront’ (e.g. planning information/building regulation/BER compliance, proof of ownership of property, authority/capacity to sell, availability of deeds, etc.), which can cause significant delays in the conveyancing process and, in some cases, cause property sales to fall through.
To address this issue, a number of measures are in the process of being implemented which are aimed at ensuring that vendors collate required information as early as possible in the sales process.
The Implementation Group is monitoring such measures to ensure that they are being implemented consistently and achieving the required outcomes.
With regard to title documents specifically, it is important to note that when a title is accepted for registration in the Land Registry, the original title documents are retained in a file called an Instrument and permanently filed in Tailte Éireann archives.
A folio is opened in respect of the property and generally it is not necessary to refer to the original title documents again. A copy of a folio, with or without a copy of the map outlining the property, can be obtained by any person from landdirect.ie on payment of the appropriate fee.
The National Land Register maintained by Tailte Éireann is conclusive evidence of legal ownership (title) of property in Ireland. The title shown on the folio is guaranteed by the State which is bound to indemnify any person who suffers loss through a mistake made by the Land Registry. A purchaser can, therefore, accept the folio as evidence of title without having to read the relevant deeds (Instrument).
It should be noted that Registration on the National Land Register occurs at the end of the conveyancing process, post purchase and draw down of funding, and in the vast majority of cases after the purchaser is in occupation of the property.
Registration of the legal effect of a property transaction should therefore not lead to any delay in the conveyancing process.
In a recently published guide by the Law Society to www.lawsociety.ie/globalassets/documents/news/2024/speed-up-your-property-sale.pdf the seller, or a practicing solicitor acting on their behalf, should have all of the required deeds and documents in order prior to putting the property on the market to avoid delays.
The seller, or their solicitor, should investigate the title to the property by reviewing the folio and where queries arise, they may apply to inspect a copy of any Instrument relating to the folio as the Registered Owner. Practicing solicitors acting for the registered owner can avail of electronic applications for Copy Instrument which have substantially shorter processing times. Further information is available on Tailte Éireann’s website: https://tailte.ie/practicing-solicitors-register-to-lodge-online-copy-instrument-applications/
487. Deputy John Connolly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the full funding provided to each local authority under the local government fund including whether the local authority was a beneficiary of the equalisation fund; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51698/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Local Government Fund (LGF) was established in 1999 and is used mainly to allocate Local Property Tax (LPT) to local authorities, and to assist the sector with increased pay and pension costs arising from the implementation of National Pay Agreements. Funding is also provided for stranded costs arising from the water services transformation process, miscellaneous schemes and other exceptional allocations. While a large portion of the income of the LGF is made up of LPT yield, a significant annual contribution is made from the Exchequer. The LGF accounts are audited by the Comptroller and Auditor General and are available at the following weblink: www.gov.ie/en/department-of-housing-local-government-and-heritage/collections/local-government-fund-accounts/.
Details of the full funding provided to each local authority from the LGF for 2025 is set out in the table below, broken down by the main funding categories.
As regards equalisation funding provided to certain local authorities as part of the LPT allocation process, it is important to bear in mind the context of this funding. Under the current LPT allocation model, every local authority has a minimum level of funding available to it, known as the baseline. There are variances across the country in terms of LPT yields but it is important that all local authorities receive at least this baseline level of funding to help ensure they can deliver adequate levels of service. Equalisation ensures that all 31 local authorities receive a minimum amount of funding from the local retention of LPT that is at least equivalent to their LPT baseline. If the estimated LPT yield in a local authority area is lower than an authority’s baseline, the authority is topped-up or equalised to that baseline. The Exchequer contribution towards the shortfall in equalisation funding for 21 local authorities is €142.3m for 2026.
Detailed information regarding LPT allocations for each year, LPT baselines and equalisation funding, where applicable, is published by my Department at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/ea27d-local-property-tax-allocations/.
488. Deputy John Connolly asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage whether his Department has considered the provision of a specific funding allocation to Galway City and County Council to fund an office to direct the planning and development of the Galway Metropolitan Strategic plan, National Planning Objective NPO 67 directs that a MASP be prepared for Galway to guide its long-term growth and investment, the achievement of this objective requires a coordinating mechanism between the two local authorities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51699/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe Northern and Western Regional Assembly (NWRA) holds the statutory responsibility for the review and preparation of the Metropolitan Area Strategic Plan (MASP) for the Galway Metropolitan Area as part of the preparation of the Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy (RSES).
Under Chapter 2 of Part 3 of the Planning and Development Act 2024, the preparation of a Metropolitan Area Strategic Plan (MASP) is structured as a collaborative process requiring the relevant Regional Assembly to coordinate closely with all constituent local authorities within the metropolitan boundary.
The monitoring of implementation of MASPs, as a key part of the RSES, including through the publication of monitoring reports, is a function of the respective regional assemblies and under Section 35 of the 2024 Act, statutory responsibility for reviewing these reports rests with the Office of the Planning Regulator (OPR).
Accordingly, the Deputy may wish to address further queries relating to the coordinating mechanisms employed as part of the preparation of the Metropolitan Area Strategic Plan (MASP) for the Galway Metropolitan Area to the NWRA.
489. Deputy Ryan O'Meara asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will introduce a mink eradication programme in the Lough Derg area, similar to the initiative established in the midlands around Lough Ree; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51722/26]
Amharc ar fhreagra490. Deputy Ryan O'Meara asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage for an update on the Midlands Mink Eradication Programme; the criteria used to select this area for the pilot initiative; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51723/26]
Amharc ar fhreagra491. Deputy Ryan O'Meara asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the area covered by the Midlands Mink Eradication Programme; the volunteer groups involved and the number of volunteers; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51724/26]
Amharc ar fhreagra492. Deputy Ryan O'Meara asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if further Mink Eradication Programmes are being considered for other regions across Ireland; if so, the areas being considered; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51725/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 489, 490, 491 and 492 together.
My Department's National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) is responsible for the implementation of the legislative framework around invasive alien species in Ireland, including the 2024 European Union (Invasive Alien Species) Regulations (SI 374/2024) which give effect in the national context to the EU IAS Regulation (1143/2014).
The Midland's Mink Eradication Programme (MMEP) is Ireland's first ever large-scale effort to eradicate American Mink, an Invasive Alien Species of Union Concern. This pilot programme is a collaboration between the Breeding Waders EIP and the National Association of Regional Game Councils (NARGC) and is supported by the NPWS.
The pilot programme is focused on all lands within a 20km radius of Lough Ree, covering some 2,600km2. This is building on significant investment by the Midland's Region of the NPWS in Mink control on Lough Ree's islands since 2010. This site was selected for the pilot as Lough Ree is one of Ireland's most important site for breeding waterbirds.
The pilot programme is designed to test a citizen science-led model for Mink Eradication. The pilot will run for 3.5 years with robust data collection and analysis informing decisions around future investment.
The programme has, since January 2026, trained and equipped 97 volunteers, with 50 more volunteers due for training in the coming weeks. Volunteers are from all sectors of society, with a substantial number being members of local Gun and Angling Clubs. The pilot now has 171 live-catch traps deployed in the programme area.
Initial reports from the programme team are positive and should this trend continue, I look forward to discussing where future efforts may be focussed in order to minimise the negative impacts of this invasive species on our native wildlife.
493. Deputy Mairéad Farrell asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will confirm if ranched Atlantic salmon will be added to the Third Schedule, Part 2A of the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011 (S.I. No. 477 of 2011), in light of recent statements by Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) confirming that ranched fish are a negative influence on native biodiversity in Special Areas of Conservation (SACs); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51743/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraAny proposal to amend the Schedules to the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011 would require careful consideration of the available scientific evidence, relevant conservation objectives and potential implications for biodiversity. There are no plans at present to amend the Regulations.
494. Deputy Malcolm Byrne asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to clarify whether Men's and Women's Sheds as charitable organisations are exempt from commercial rates. [51746/26]
Amharc ar fhreagra500. Deputy Pat Buckley asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage to issue a directive to permanently abolish commercial rates for Men’s Sheds; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [51844/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraI propose to take Questions Nos. 494 and 500 together.
Tailte Éireann is an independent Government agency and provides a property registration system, property valuation service, and national mapping and surveying infrastructure for the State. Tailte Éireann is independent in the exercise of its valuation functions under the Valuation Act 2001, as amended (the Act), and I, as the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, have no function in decisions in this regard.
Tailte Éireann has overall responsibility under the Act, for the maintenance of all Valuation Lists used by Local Authorities in the calculation of rates liability. Under Schedule 3 of the Act, all buildings used or developed for any purpose are rateable unless expressly exempted under Schedule 4 of the Act. There is a very specific range of exemptions that can be applied, and Tailte Éireann has no discretionary latitude to grant exemptions not covered by Schedule 4.
Section 16 of Schedule 4 provides for an exemption as follows:
16. Any land, building or part of a building which is occupied by a body, being either —
(a) A charitable organisation that uses the land, building or part exclusively for charitable purposes and otherwise than for private profit, or
(b) A body which is not established and the affairs of which are not conducted for the purpose of making a private profit and
(i) The principal activity of which is the conservation of the natural and built endowments in the State, and
(ii) The land, building or part is used exclusively by it for the purpose of that activity and otherwise than for private profit.
A property occupier having charitable status does not automatically confer an exemption from valuation. As a matter of course, Tailte Éireann examines all property occupied by a charitable organisation by reference to its own facts and circumstances by reference to the relevant statutory provisions governing the operation of the Act and case law arising from the independent Valuation Tribunal and the Higher Courts.
The question of the rateability, or otherwise, of property related to Men's and Women's Sheds would need to be considered on the basis of the particular circumstances of the case(s) and how the provisions of the Act apply in their specific case. In determining the valuation of a property, Tailte Éireann engages with the property occupier.
There are a number of avenues of redress for an occupier of rateable property who is dissatisfied with a determination of valuation by Tailte Éireann made under the provisions of the Act 2001. Firstly, before a determination is made, there is a right to make representations to Tailte Éireann in relation to a proposed valuation. Later in the process, if the occupier is still dissatisfied with the determination, there is a right of appeal to the Valuation Tribunal which is an independent body set up for the purpose of hearing appeals against determinations of Tailte Éireann. Following the process with the Valuation Tribunal, there is a further right of appeal to the Higher Courts on a point of law.
To exempt any category of property from assessment that is currently not exempt under any paragraph of Schedule 4 of the Act, which includes Men’s and Women's Sheds, would require legislative amendment. Currently there are no plans for Government to amend the Valuation Acts in this regard.
Finally, Oireachtas members may obtain information in relation to specific cases by contacting the dedicated e-mail address in respect of Tailte Éireann at oireachtas@tailte.ie. An organisation itself may contact Tailte Éireann in respect of specific cases at valuationadmin@tailte.ie.
495. Deputy Malcolm Byrne asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if, when a commercial premises is being valued for the purposes of commercial rates by Tailte Éireann, if it is Government policy that solar panels installed on the premises will result in an increased valuation. [51758/26]
Amharc ar fhreagraTailte Éireann is an independent Government agency and provides a property registration system, property valuation service, and national mapping and surveying infrastructure for the State. Tailte Éireann is independent in the exercise of its valuation functions under the Valuation Act 2001, as amended (the Act), and I, as the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, have no function in operational decisions in this regard.
Tailte Éireann has overall responsibility under the Act, for the maintenance of all Valuation Lists used by Local Authorities in the calculation of rates liability. Under Schedule 3 of the Act, all buildings used or developed for any purpose are rateable unless expressly exempted under Schedule 4 of the Act.
Commercial buildings are rateable in that context under normal cicumstances and while solar panels on commercial buildings are not assessed separately, where they form part of a relevant property, the established commercial rates valuation methodology is that the overall value of that property is assessed as rateable in accordance with the provisions of the Act. As a matter of course, Tailte Éireann examines all properties on their individual merits by reference to the relevant statutory provisions governing the operation of the Act and case law arising from the independent Valuation Tribunal and the Higher Courts.
