Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

1:30 pm

Ms Sarah Cooney:

As the Deputy will be aware, cost rental is a new tenure in this country. We have been focusing on scaling it up and bringing forward delivery on it. There has been a lot of momentum in that regard. In that context, the Housing Agency regularly engages with all the stakeholders, including the Department, and looks at some of these issues. The schemes in place are the ones that have been put in place by the Government under Housing for All. We are always conscious of the medium-term strategy that needs to be put in place around cost rental and particularly around rents and the calculation of rents.
