Public Accounts Committee

Vote 34: Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

9:00 am

Mr. John McCarthy:

It was minimal, if anything at all. From memory, there were some very small costs for land but the costs were quite minimal because the process has not moved on through procurement yet to a point where significant costs are incurred. The PPP programme in housing is looking to deliver 1,500 social housing units in three bundles. The first of those is currently at procurement stage. The sites for the second bundle of 500 have been identified and are going through planning. I expect the sites for the third bundle of 500 to be identified later this year. It will probably be towards the end of 2019 before we actually start to see constructed units coming from the first phase.
