Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Brian Geaney:
I thank the Deputy. He has acknowledged the significant work under way in the city council.
The targets are a minimum. They are also ambitious. We are going to build 515 units this year. Next year, our target is 821 units. With the projects we have on-site and in play now, and with the number of projects to go on-site, we are extremely confident we are going to achieve these targets. Whether it is affordable or social housing, though, where opportunities arise, and the committee will be well aware of the competitive dialogue process, in respect of 26 Part 8 projects across various brownfield sites in the city, we are active in the market. Our intention is to exceed these targets where we can in future.
