Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Affordable Housing Bill 2020: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Conor O'Toole:
There is. We have not done much work looking at those supply instruments and so I do not have a research paper from where I could draw on that element.
Any supply measure is really good, as supply is the critical issue. It is a welcome development where broad instruments can open up and loosen supply bottlenecks. We are focusing on a small part of this Bill, but it is a broad Bill that has lots of elements to it. The supply side elements are critical to what we need to do.
