Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

Housing Rental Sector Strategy: Discussion

11:00 am

Mr. David Silke:

The areas we recommended to the Minister were the ones we felt were most likely to be designated. If an area was unlikely to be designated, we did not recommend it. Ms Carroll has indicated that the area in which Deputy O'Dowd has an interest would not have been designated if it had gone forward. In a sense, the Housing Agency was correct in its analysis.
