Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Financing of Social Housing: Discussion

9:00 am

Ms Cathy Bryce:

I hope that answers the first question. On quantity, the scale of what is required to be delivered and the numbers of social houses forecast to be required mean it would be very challenging for any one channel to provide them. We do see the PPPs, land initiatives, enhanced leasing and other methods as providing significant accretion possibilities to achieve the demanding numbers sought. The local authorities building directly will be a mainstay of the delivery. These other channels, however, do provide an opportunity to bring increased supply and to broaden the availability of skill sets by using some private sector companies that are involved in these different schemes.
