Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion
5:00 pm
Mr. Brendan Kenny:
No, we do not think so. We think they are waiting for it to happen. In recent years our concentration has been on new HAP tenancies to cater for people on the housing list and who are becoming homeless. We do not think there will be an issue in that regard.
Some costs were mentioned in the national media in recent days about high costs in St. Teresa's Gardens working out at €500,000 per unit. I do not know where that came from. It is totally wrong. However, it is very expensive. The overall contract is worth €18.9 million, which works out at €351,000 per unit.
