I must now deal with a postponed division relating to Second Stage of the Acquisition of Development Land (Assessment of Compensation) Bill 2021, which took place earlier today. On the question, "That the amendment to the motion be made", a division was claimed, and in accordance with Standing Order 80(2), that division must be taken now.
Acquisition of Development Land (Assessment of Compensation) Bill 2021: Second Stage (Resumed) [Private Members]
The following motion was moved by Deputy Alan Kelly on Wednesday, 16 June 2021: "That the Bill be now read a Second Time."
Debate resumed on amendment No. 1:
To delete all words after "That" and substitute the following:
"Dáil Éireann, while acknowledging the relevance of the Acquisition of Development Land (Assessment of Compensation) Bill 2021 in regard to securing more cost efficient development land with the objective that all persons insofar as practicable have good quality and affordable housing appropriate to their needs, in accordance with the principles of social justice and the exigencies of the common good, resolves that the Bill be deemed to be read a second time this day 12 months, to allow sufficient time to consider the work of the Law Reform Commission and finalise proposals currently being formulated by the Government, in line with the Programme for Government commitment."
- (Minister of State at the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage, Deputy Malcolm Noonan)
