298. Deputy Eamon Scanlon asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage with regard to the 'Section 28 Guidelines - NPF Implementation: Housing Growth Requirements' which issued in July 2025 and which contain the new annual housing supply targets for all local authorities, which display targets that appear in the final two columns of Appendix 1 on p.14, one column covering the period 2025-2034 and the other 2035-2040, the reason the figure for some local authorities like Carlow, Cavan and Sligo, employ exactly the same figures for the period 2025-2034 as used in their development plans, while others, such as Kildare, Laois and Monaghan, depart significantly from their development plan targets; the reason this is the case; why no reason or criterion of these differing treatments is offered in the guidelines themselves; if he will publish the precise methodology employed; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
