State’s system of earmarking land for new housing is ‘fundamentally flawed’, TDs to be told
The amount of land that has been earmarked for new homes nationwide is lagging behind what’s needed due to land-zoning being based on outdated population projections, politicians will be told today. The Construction Industry of Federation has said the “unrealistic low projected growth” is due to data being based off old population information covering 2011-16 which it says was “one of the lowest population growth periods in recent Irish history”. It’s part of how Ireland’s land management process for housing is “fundamentally flawed”, the CIF will tell the Oireachtas Housing Committee later today.

Bus going too fast before crash – Australian police
A 58-year-old wedding bus driver has appeared in an Australian court, charged with dangerous driving that caused the deaths of ten guests. Brett Andrew Button allegedly drove “too quick” in what were believed to be foggy conditions just before midnight on Sunday, which caused Australia’s deadliest road accident in 16 years. Mr Button’s bus was carrying 35 passengers when it lost control at a roundabout and careened onto its side, killing nine people almost instantly. Moments earlier, the passengers had been celebrating the wedding of a young couple at the nearby Wandin Estate Winery in Australia’s picturesque Hunter Valley wine region. Another passenger later died in hospital. Fourteen guests are still hospitalised, including one in intensive care.
