Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No.2) Bill 2024: Discussion

1:30 pm

Ms Sarah Cooney:

It did not particularly come from a specific ask or development but was part of broader consultations on cost rental delivery. Some of the cases we looked at related to the area or residency or where someone may live and the cost-rental dwelling. If a scheme were to be developed in Waterford, Carlow, Dún Laoghaire or wherever, it may be a case of being able to look at selecting residents from the area, depending on the scheme. There was also consideration of employment and that, if there were a scheme near a hospital, not just the workers in that hospital but the proximity of those cost-rental dwellings to the employment of the individuals applying could be taken into consideration.
