Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Martin Loughran:

Anything that reviews the planning system would be welcomed by everyone in the room, at the risk of speaking for everyone. It is probably one of the biggest challenges. We can see it is not only about the number of projects that are failed to get approval. There are also projects that are getting approval but not commencing. It is about the timeframe it takes projects to get through. It is the viability and suitability of projects that are being approved. This is something we are experiencing. Anything that looks to speed up the process and improve the viability of what is being approved is something that we welcome.
