Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Land Development Agency: Chairman Designate
Mr. John Coleman:
I fully concur. The challenge is not a financial one, it is getting the projects up and running to a point where they can be delivered. There are significant logistics, as Mr. O'Rourke put it, involved in doing that, between planning, site assembly and procurement. The focus is very much on ramping up to get to that run rate of delivery. That is our key priority now. We want to be ambitious, but building the institutional capacity and getting through the logistical work to get to that scale of delivery run rate is the challenge.
