Mr. Eddie Taaffe:

We need to be constantly looking at viability and making ourselves more efficient. We need additional investment in infrastructure to provide more serviced land. We need to look at modern methods of construction to make the construction sector as efficient as possible. We also need to make sure the subsidies are reflective of the real cost of housing delivery and that we can keep housing as affordable as possible. Constant analysis is needed. To be fair, that is what has been going on over the last couple of years. That has been being checked. The single biggest issue in respect of viability is that local authorities need access to funding to provide infrastructure to unlock more land.
