Challenges Relating to the Delivery of Housing: Discussion (Resumed)
2:00 am
Mr. Martin Whelan:
Not only do I believe that should be the case, but I also believe that is exactly what the Department is doing. From my engagement with the Department, and I have been in this role for a relatively limited period, it is absolutely, with a laser focus, looking at a whole raft of issues, which are the issues we have discussed today, to try to come up with measures that will support that additional investment. To be clear, that additional investment is absolutely key to the delivery of the additional homes that are identified. People talk about what that number should be. Whether it is 54,000 or north of that, it requires additional capital.
