Question:

292. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government the changes to statutory regulations or legislation he is considering in relation to the planning, procurement and construction of social housing by local authorities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [46255/18]

Written answers

Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

There is a complete programme of planning, procurement and building regulations that apply to social and non-social housing equally. I have no plans at present to introduce any changes to statutory regulations or legislation in the areas identified by the Deputy that would apply to social housing only.
