County Kildare politicians fight to retain control of public land
Development
);
Legislation which could mean that councillors have little or no say about the sale of land by Kildare County Council has come under fire.
Councilors have rounded on a proposal in the Land Development Agency bill which they say overrides the decision making role of elected councillors.
They said it would undermine democracy and threaten the ”proper planning” of County Kildare.
Cllr Nuala Killeen said that the concerns that councillors have will be bypassed and publicly owned land could be sold to private developers if this is seen as more cost effective.

Call for Kildare County Council to build more houses
Criticism
);
There was overwhelming support for a call for more houses to be built, at a recent Kildare County Council meeting.
And there was criticism of the Housing Assistance Payment (HAP) system, which provides financial assistance for households who qualify for social housing and who are trying to rent a home on the private market.
There are about 2,400 people receiving HAP within County Kildare but Cllr Noel Connolly said the only long term answer is for public housing to be built on publicly-owned land.
He said that HAP limits are too low to allow families or individuals to actually avail of much of the rented accommodation that is available in the county.
