Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
John Cummins (Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source
I will take up where I left off on the last round of questions. I compliment Cork City Council on the right-sizing approach that the council has taken to deliver on developments. It is particularly welcome that the council has tried to include those in private stock, and not only the councils own stock. For the benefit of the committee, and for the record, so it can be shared with the local authorities, will the Mr. Geaney tell us how the council goes about that process? For the 30 units that the council delivered, it allocated ten of those - which is 33% of that stock - to accommodate from private supply. I assume that the council went out to do an expression of interest and explained the process and what it entailed for the individuals and for the council.
