Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Barry Lynch:

We went slightly over the target. We referenced our target based on the housing need and demand assessment, which gave a figure of approximately 1,734 units, from memory. We are not the only show in town in that, traditionally, 60% of our tenants were on HAP. It is a combination of what we do and what happens in the private rental sector. We need an increase in supply across the board and not just from our own efforts. We need to see a general increase in housebuilding to make more private rented accommodation available as well.
