Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No.2) Bill 2024: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Brian O'Gorman:
The big difference I would highlight, and I will ask for Ms Cleary's comment as well, is that the cost-rental allocations are made an awful lot more speedily because they are in our control. We can do them very quickly, which means we do not get voids. We cannot afford to have voids either. The question about momentum or motivation to introduce similar systems for social rental is unanswerable at this stage. We need to have a system which allows us to allocate properties very quickly.
