Need for New House of Representatives Building and Digitization Plans
November 13, 2026
Members of all parties are discussing the urgent need for a new building for the House of Representatives, despite concerns about voter reactions. The budget for the House in 2027 is set at €36.9 million, with personnel costs amounting to €18.5 million. The goal is to enhance the functioning and image of the Parliament, including digitization and improved accessibility of records. There has been an increase in questions and legislative proposals due to the use of artificial intelligence, leading to a higher workload for the staff. The members aim for a more open and outward-looking Parliament.
