Fianna Fáil’s plans ‘use it or lose it’ penalties for developers

Developers would be subject to “use it or lose it” penalties under Fianna Fáil plans.

The party has set out its proposals for Dublin City, which would include a directly elected mayor, a freeze on public transport fares, and two new garda units to tackle anti-social behaviour and serious organised crime.

Fianna Fáil would give local authorities new “use it or lose it” powers to encourage developers to build and stop “land hoarding”.
