Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Dermot Mahon:
Similar to Cork, the Department provided the HNDA tool, which includes factors like local property prices, average incomes and household size. It generated the affordability-constrained number of 903. There a slight overlap in times because our development plan runs from 2023 to 2029 and the housing delivery plan runs from 2022 to 2026. There is a gap in the figure for 2022 because it was not produced as part of the HNDA process. We tried to match, as closely we could, the affordability-constrained households with our overall delivery notwithstanding that the target issued by the Department of 151 over five years was quite low. Ms. Philbin mentioned the scheme we have going to procurement shortly which will provide approximately half of that figure and we have a number of other schemes in planning. We are confident that the target of 151 will be easily achieved. I think that is it. Was there another part to the question?
