Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Urban Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Maria Graham:

We fund them when they get approved, in terms of some of the design elements. One of the things we are looking at for the next round is working with local authorities on projects they can bring forward. We have gone through a number of bid processes and have probably exhausted those. Sometimes we see the same projects coming back in and failing again so we need to work with local authorities. That will help to reduce what the Chairman mentioned where a lot of money goes into projects that do not get funding and then they do not have recourse to the seed capital they put in being recouped. We hope that through the towns piece there will be greater clarity between us and local authorities about what will be funded.
