Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Barry Lynch:

The overall aim is to try to achieve a 25% discount on market rent. At present, we are not active in cost rental but the AHBs have been. One 22-unit scheme recently launched in Trim was oversubscribed at more than 300 applications. Another such scheme is planned for Navan, which is not yet off the ground. Our initial foray into affordable would probably be on the purchase side of it and direct homeownership, but we are looking at cost rental in a future construction project.
