Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Impact of Brexit on Ireland's Housing Market: Discussion (Resumed)

11:00 am

Ms Sarah Neary:

The Chairman referred to new technologies in the construction industry as a whole. There is a broad picture and there are areas for which we have a direct responsibility or on which we have a direct impact. We are supporting the new technologies being developed for speedier delivery both through the rapid delivery framework, which was established last year by the Office of Government Procurement, and also a tendering process that is under way through Dublin City Council for volumetric or rapid delivery apartments. Through pull measures, we support the industry moving forward to delivering a greater degree of prefabrication onto the construction site so that we get a speedier delivery. There is a developing market there and a good response to that process, both in Ireland in our neighbouring countries. Mr. Hogan might care to speak about Project 2040 and its commitments.
