Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Geaney:

Exactly. We need to be down at that level. Some might say those rents are still high. We had 1,800 applications in the city for those 73 units, however. The Senator is right; if we can bring in a subsidy that brings rents down to that level, it would get many of those planning permissions activated and create that social mix we want to get. We are doing an awful lot of social housing in the city.
