Public Accounts Committee

2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage

12:05 pm

Ms Caroline Timmons:

As the Deputy noted, we have an AHB pipeline under the CREL scheme. We also have some local authority delivery on the Enniskerry Road, with which the Deputy is probably familiar. Our initial projections suggest that in quarter 1, there will be 50 cost rental homes in the Enniskerry development and another 22 in Parklands, which will come on board shortly, within this quarter. In quarter 2, there will be 74 in a Clondalkin development, 16 in Leixlip, a further 22 in Citywest, another 11 on a Dublin site we have not announced yet and 46 on a Kildare site.

In quarter 3, there will be another 73 in one area of Cork and 16 in another. There will also be 50 in one development in Newbridge and two in another.

In quarter 4, we are expecting a whole host of homes to come on stream. There will be seven in one area of Fingal and 31 in another. There will be 16 in one development in Cork and 24 in another. There will be 48 in Newbridge, eight in Drogheda and 40 in another area of Kildare. There will be 45 in Navan, 22 in Meath, 12 in another area of Cork and another 81 in a north Dublin site.

We have not announced all of those developments yet because there are commercial agreements to be finished and I cannot give the Deputy the exact details. However, we have a lot of developments coming forward under that particular programme. We are fairly confident of hitting those targets this year.
