Public Accounts Committee

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

9:50 am

Mr. Graham Doyle:

It is very much focused on some of the schemes the Deputy mentioned. For example, in regard to affordable purchase, there are several strands in terms of how that can be dealt with through local authority schemes, etc. The unit is also dealing with the cost rental programme. Again, there are a range of ways that cost rental can be delivered, for example, through the cost rental homes scheme with AHBs, local authorities and the Land Development Agency. Schemes such as first home and the shared equity scheme are schemes that are being developed from scratch, which involves development of the schemes, the legislation - I know many members of the committee, including Deputy McAuliffe, have been involved with that - and then the building of the pipeline.
