Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Construction Costs in Housing: Discussion

Ms Lisa Rocca:

I thank the Deputy for bringing that up now, although I know it is pencilled in for discussion tomorrow. The SCSI has been working on a report for the past number of years on retrofitting and the costs of same. A specific committee is working on that and it will be part of a series of reports. That will be published in September and we will be glad to share it with the committee then. It is a very good subject. The properties are there and can be turned around quickly. We have a housing crisis so it makes sense. I know it is up for debate tomorrow but we feel very strongly about that. I am glad we are talking about it because we need to work together to get that going more.
