Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Barry Lynch:

That would represent around 350 homes. We have started with a couple of site purchases this year. We have bought one of more than 2 ha in Ashbourne. Like Kildare County Council, we are competing on the private market and it is expensive to acquire land, but we are working on it. On the delivery to 2026, we probably need approximately 10 ha of land with an average density of 35 houses on each to deliver on our programme. Approximately 350 homes could be delivered with that land. We have started that process in both Kells and Ashbourne with the two sites we have acquired.
