The legislation will then be subject to a debate in the Dáil.
Proposals to change planning legislation are being described as a ‘lifeline’ for rural communities.
The Government is set to relax rules around one off homes in the countryside, with amendments due before Cabinet next month that will aim to reduce the red tape involved in building a house in the countryside.
People who can prove an economic or social need to live in a rural area, or who have already lived there for a long time, will be eligible for planning permission under new rules.
Independent TD Michael Healy Rae, says he’ll be supporting the proposals.
