Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Caroline Curley:
The number already earmarked for social housing is 17 ha across the city and county. We estimate that will give us 410 units. We recognise we have a shortage there but we are in negotiations and hope to make use of the private sector more with turnkey developments. Many of the developments, especially in the city, will be turnkeys because the land is already owned privately. If there is a downturn and that land becomes available, we will then go in to take it.
