Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Financing of Social Housing: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Paul O'Neill:
I will answer Deputy Boyd Barrett's question. We are involved with Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council. We have been assisting it with the analysis of the site. I stress that the site is not being considered for PPP. I am mindful of the requirements of the councillors in terms of a 60:40 split. We have been modelling some scenarios for the council in that regard. We are working with them in that context to see how that could work. As part of that we have looked at cost rental, for example, as an alternative for the site also, but within State ownership. We are not looking to push PPPs and we are mindful of what councillors and local authorities are looking for.
