Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Construction Costs in Housing: Discussion

Mr. Conor O'Connell:

I represent the broader Munster region. There are really good, solid towns there with huge demand, yet the private sector cannot deliver. It is a real frustration for us, that the viability gap is there. In terms of the question, it depends on where one is. Fine towns such as Tralee, Dingle, Ennis, Clonmel, and even Waterford, cannot deliver the private sector units that are much in demand. There has to be a reason for that and it comes back to viability.
