Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Daniel McLoughlin:
I do not have a number but the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage would have a number for how many sites are on the go on both the private and public sides. That is on housing alone. Add in to that the broader layer of public works contracts. Having consultants to do environmental surveys, ecology surveys and bats and bird surveys across all those sites is clearly a challenge. I do not mean to be unfair but some of it is bitty work. Some of it is very substantial work so that skill set is in high demand right now as the economy is flourishing.
