Challenges Relating to the Delivery of Housing: Discussion (Resumed)

Pat Casey (Fianna Fail)
I mentioned earlier that anybody with a brain in their head would have seen what was going to happen last year whereby, when an incentive was coming to an end, there was always going to be a surge in commencements, and that is reflecting what is happening. There is also uncertainty out there relating to Government policy. Is that also preventing commencements happening? Might there be hope from developers that another scheme may be on the way such that they are not going to submit their commencements until they know what the Government is going to do?
