Committee on Housing and Homelessness

Irish Property Owners Association

10:30 am

Mr. Tom O'Brien:

The tenants who are now living in those properties. Thousands of people are housed along the quays and in the inner city in quality apartments. I accept that some of the earlier schemes were smaller apartments but under the later schemes in, for example, Cork Street 1,000 sq ft two-bedroomed quality apartments were built and they are at a level that is affordable for the average person.
