Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Brian Geaney:
From a Cork perspective, the vast majority of the units that are being done through social leasing are new A-rated units. They are currently occupied and there has not been any vacancy issues to date. Similarly, we will have a sinking fund to carry out any repairs that are necessary when those vacancies arise.
With regard to voids, it is the case that when we have energy retrofitting funding in place obviously we will do the full suite of measures. We are conscious about getting voids re-let very quickly. That is some work we might come back to later when the properties are tenanted.
