Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate

Mr. Cormac O'Rourke:

I am looking at my data sheet here.

I understand it is slightly more than 10% social on that site. I ask Mr. Coleman to correct me if that is not the case.

The Deputy is correct that tendering for the enabling works is only happening now. We are looking to dovetail that with construction. As the Deputy will appreciate, we are subject to the full rigours of the public spending code, which may be slowing delivery more than it needs to. We are engaging with the Government on the appropriateness of the public spending code, which is more geared towards one-off projects rather than large numbers of projects of a similar nature, to see how we can streamline it. For the moment, we are subject to the full rigours of the public spending code. That is certainly not helping our speed.
