Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms AnnMarie Farrelly:

Resourcing has been provided to us by the Department in recent times. As it stands, it is quite solid. There is a difficulty in recruiting professional staff particularly and in keeping them when they join us. Private sector resources are also fairly limited at the moment as regards bringing in that expertise. It is challenging and it is not without problems. The financial resources as construction costs increase are a worry for us all. It is particularly worrying regarding affordable delivery for cost rental and private purchase. That is something we have under review. We are conscious that we need to end up with an affordable price for rent and purchase when we deliver units-----
