Ceisteanna (133, 135)

Réada Cronin

Ceist:

133. Deputy Réada Cronin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will outline his Department's position on how the proposed Planning and Development Bill 2022 appears to remove the requirement for local authorities to reserve land for communities to use for cultivation as allotments, along with the definition of allotment itself, and the regulation, promotion and facilitation of the use of this land for such a purpose, and further, leaving the current 2,500 allotments and community gardens without a legal framework (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [8925/23]
