Construction Costs in Housing: Discussion
Cian O'Callaghan (Dublin Bay North, Social Democrats) | Oireachtas source
I thank our guests for their contributions. The opening statement of the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland cites numerous anecdotal examples of housing projects being paused due to the increased costs. I have certainly heard many of those stories as well. What is the Irish Home Builders Association's assessment of that? Have its members heard anecdotally of projects being paused? Given the potentially huge implications of this in the context of meeting our housing targets, if no action is taken on this, if we do nothing, what would the effect be?
