Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Affordable Housing: Discussion
Mr. John Moore:
The only information we have on the Boherboy scheme is that the cost of the site will be €2 million, levies will have to be paid and there is €4.2 million of a grant for services to the site. We will only find out how that will work if we are selected for stage 2. Currently, only expressions of interest have been received. One could look at it and say that the service site fund of €4.2 million is being used to pay €2 million for the site, leaving us with approximately €2.2 million to service the site, which may not be enough for 147 houses. We will not know unless we get selected for stage 2.
