Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms AnnMarie Farrelly:

We do not see it as a limit. The target is there and we would hope to overachieve and we have overachieved over many years in Fingal. Although land is not necessarily a constraint overall, not all of it is public land. We have constraints in the public land area. Currently, all of the land in our ownership is in play for those sites that are either on site in construction or whatever stage of project development they might be in. The Deputy is probably aware we have just come through the draft stage of our development plan. The council has been looking at the public lands and what might be appropriate for further housing delivery. For example, a new project in the future will be the Dunsink lands Deputy McAuliffe will be familiar with. The council hopes to bring significant public lands into play through that potential zoning should it go through in confirmation of the plan for next year.
