Michael O’Flynn calls for radical rethink of housing policy

In an article in today's 'Irish Examiner', the developer says measures in new and recent legislation would be an impediment rather than a stimulus to housing delivery

Michael O'Flynn, chair and CEO of the O'Flynn Group, wrote the article for Saturday's 'Irish Examiner Property & Home'.

Developer Michael O’Flynn has called for a radical rethink of how housing is delivered if a new government is to have any hope of addressing the housing deficit.

Writing today in the 'Irish Examiner', the chairman and CEO of the O’Flynn Group, says certain proposed legislative changes would act as an impediment rather than a stimulus to housing delivery. He says this includes the Land (Zoning Value Sharing) Bill where the State would secure 25% of the uplift in value of land, following its zoning for residential use.
