Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion
Mr. Jim Baneham:
There are upper limits. There are regulations that set out the maximum income limit for a CREL household at the outset. That puts an effective upper limit on what can be provided. There is downward pressure from that in terms of rents. Under CREL, there were schemes which did not quite meet the criteria for the level of discount and they were not able to proceed.
