Committee on Housing and Homelessness

Social Justice Ireland

Ms Michelle Murphy:

Official statistics issued by NAMA and various other agencies show that, of the 668 unfinished developments, 447 have no active construction activity. Some 2,300 of the units are still under construction and a large number are vacant. These are the housing agency figures. There is no indication as to why it is taking so long. The last figures were from 2014 and 2015. There was €8.7 million given from the special resolution fund to complete or refurbish the developments and ensure they can be occupied, yet it is unclear why it is taking so long for this to come on stream.
