Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate

Mr. Cormac O'Rourke:

In the first instance, if we look at our funding envelope of €3.5 billion, that is sufficient to fund in the order of 10,000 houses. We have a lot of work to do before we get anywhere close to exhausting that amount. There are no budgetary constraints that I am aware of so far, that are constraining our delivery. It is just the sheer logistics of getting up and running to get to a point where we can deliver the 2,000 houses per annum. It is not a question of budget; it is a question of pure logistics. The LDA has come a long way in the past two years. It now needs to focus on the delivery aspect of its mandate. Mr. Coleman might want to add to that.
