Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 27 November 2012
471. Deputy Michael McCarthy asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if he will provide an update on a planned review into Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 particularly in the context of possible changes to legislation which may affect shared ownership schemes; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [52403/12]
View answerThe Government's housing policy statement, published in June 2011, announced the standing down of all affordable housing schemes, including the shared ownership scheme, in the context of a full review of Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000. That review is now underway. I will shortly publish material on my Department’s website, in furtherance of the review, and this will facilitate stakeholder consultation which is likely to take place early next year.
