Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Construction Costs in Housing: Discussion

Mr. James Benson:

I agree with the Deputy. Clarification of what would be “exceptional circumstances” would be important because, all too often, “exceptional circumstances” are included in a development process and no one has any idea about what it means. If it is defined – for example, if it details that someone is held up because of State or semi-State bodies – and everyone knows what the level playing field is, I imagine it would be in the interests of future delivery.
