The committee has discussed the matter and I intend to propose that it does a forensic, deep-dive review of construction costs and the factors that are inhibiting us from realising our house-building potential now. When looked at line by line, it is surprising to find the components that add up to a house and particularly an apartment. Dr. Ronan Lyons suggested analysing construction costs in his report to the committee in 2016. That would be worthwhile and we intend to return to it, all being well, in the coming weeks.
