Unlocking Barriers to the Delivery of Housing: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Ronan Columb:
On the funding piece, we have not been kind to international funders. We need a stable policy platform for them to fall in love with Ireland again and come back and feel they are investing in a safe and stable place. In terms of capacity, Castlethorn is operating at about 60% capacity at the moment. We have headroom to grow considerably more. We have the ability to deliver about 2,500 units a year. We are doing about 60% of that at the moment. I would hazard a guess that our colleagues in the industry are operating at less than that capacity and have considerable room to grow. I am very confident that we have the ability to deliver the increased amount if we are enabled to do it.
