Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion
Mr. Bob Jordan:
We are definitely playing our role to ensure we do achieve the targets. Our role relates to the cost rental equity loans, CRELs. As the Deputy knows, there were 65 homes delivered last year. This year, 669 will get CREL but there are an additional 15 at Enniskerry Road that will get funding through the serviced sites fund and a further 177. Cost rental is a new tender. The AHBs have embraced it so quickly. As I said, we have had two CREL offerings, namely, CREL 1 and CREL 2. I am hopeful, once the open call gets up and running, we can ramp up delivery even further.
