Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion

Ms Claire Feeney:

On the repair and leasing scheme, as the Deputy said, focusing on larger developments such as Waterford has been very successful with regard to some of the projects it has funded, in addition to looking at how we can target some of the town centre over-the-shop type properties and maybe even try to corral them in a particular direction as well. The terms of the repair and leasing scheme are well known and accepted so it is not likely they will change significantly, with the possible exception of the maximum limit of €60,000, which may be looked it. It is more about trying to target properties. There is a target of 120 for this year. It is trying to ensure the scheme is best used for that.
