Committee on Housing and Homelessness
County and City Management Association
10:30 am
Mr. Dick Brady:
I might comment before Mr. Morgan comes in. The Deputy asked in essence about small builders and serviced sites. That has worked extremely well in the past in providing accommodation for a certain cohort of the population. They have never delivered major numbers, but they delivered fairly significant projects, one of which is in Donabate, as I am sure the Deputy is aware. They delivered significant projects for particular areas.
I do not believe there is any great barrier to us moving in those directions again. Maybe some buildings by small builders, serviced sites or local co-operative developments might be facilitated in some of the other plans we have for housing. It has worked well in the past and has been extremely beneficial for certain communities.
