Ms Áine Stapleton:

It is an important consideration and one of the criteria on which an approved housing body must satisfy itself and the local authority before it comes to us for approval is that the development is meeting sustainable communities objectives and that there is an appropriate tenure mix within the area. Both the local authority and the Department, through the Housing Agency, in assessing applications for capital advance leasing facility, CALF, funding will always have regard to that sustainable communities consideration.
