Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ivan Grimes:

As Mr. Walsh alluded to in his previous contribution, we do not have cost rental at present. We are concentrating on affordable purchase. The three schemes in Waterford that are currently advertised are on developer sites. We have agreed with the developer and the Land Development Agency, LDA, that the local authority will manage the application process to avoid confusion for the public. A couple of our own sites are earmarked for affordable purchase and will probably be advanced next year. We are looking throughout the city and county to identify potential further affordable schemes both on our own land and with developers.
