Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Barry Lynch:

We are actively working with the LDA on a particular site in Navan. Obviously, our involvement as a local authority is down to the fact that we have to make the application for the affordable housing fund. We are working away on that to deliver 50 units hopefully next year. There are some legal complexities to this in that there would be direct sale arrangements involved. The actual construction agreement is between the LDA and the developer concerned. We will be administering the application. That essentially is the way it is going to work. We are processing the grant application with the Department in relation to that. We are also procuring a system to handle the applications, which we hope to havein situbefore the end of the year so they can be advertised, and then work ahead on that new scheme in the new year.
