Committee on Housing and Homelessness

Housing Agency

10:30 am

Mr. John O'Connor:

Building and development is about ensuring there is a mix with different forms of housing and different tenure. I was involved previously in the Fatima Mansions redevelopment. We can build on scale where we get the right mix of different types of housing. It is appropriate for local authorities and other public sector bodies to build on scale with a mix of housing, including people on social housing, private renting, people who purchase housing and affordable housing. We can do it and it has been done before.
