Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

Current Housing Demand: Discussion

2:50 pm

Mr. Brian O'Gorman:

One of the difficulties is that much of the housing stock which NAMA took on is in areas where there is no housing need. We have no wish to push people out to the margins where there are no services and where they cannot access the facilities to enable them to participate in society. Unfortunately, in the case of some of the properties in NAMA there is no social housing and people have no wish to live there.
