Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion
Mr. Frank Curran:
Housing of All has set an overall target of 51,000 for 2022 to 2026. There are 27,600 houses in the delivery pipeline. That is divided among all the local authorities. I think our target is realistic. There are issues, however. I mentioned earlier that Covid-19 caused an issue with the supply chain and that there is a skill shortage. Apartments being slow to get off the ground is also a big issue that affects turnkey, matters relating to part V and approved housing body, AHB, delivery. There are, therefore, many issues in that regard.
