Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion

Mr. Owen Keegan:

In fairness, the Department has been very supportive. What has really held us up is two lockdown periods, which have caused real difficulties with our delivery. There are other market realities we have to acknowledge. As a consequence of Covid and building inflation, we are getting very little interest, much less interest, in our developments. It is a matter of trying to interest contractors to take on this work and, once they get the tenders, to get them to start. There are factors like that. This is as much a challenge to us as it is to the Department.
