Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Annette Aspell:

On Traveller accommodation, yes, we have done a significant amount of work but there is a lot more to be done. A lot of our Traveller accommodation allocations have been to general needs housing, which is indicated as a request to have that type of accommodation. We try to actively support that but we do need to increase the number of group housing provision. For example, there is definitely a need there to be addressed. Earlier I mentioned the development at Athy. I appreciate that the Deputy is probably more interested in what we can do in north Kildare and we are looking at how we can deliver something in Naas.

On Part V delivery, I am very confident that we are getting what we are due to get under Part V. We would deliver in the region of 100 units per year through Part V. We expect to deliver in excess of 500 units through Part V under the Housing for All programme.
