Current Housing Demand: Discussion (Resumed)
12:50 pm
Mr. Tom McHugh:
My understanding is that a HAP pilot is operating in Limerick, so resource implications will depend on the outcome of the pilot's business case. With regard to rent caps, as we indicated in the submission, the basic problem now is that demand far outstrips supply. Until there is an increase in supply, I am not sure what other solutions there will be.
