Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Outlook, Competitiveness and Labour Market Developments: Discussion

2:00 pm

Ms Patricia King:

If it does, that is much better news. From our perspective, if there are 27,000 housing permissions and NAMA has the legislative ability to do this, we should develop in the first place a model to provide mixed income, good quality housing units which will make a return to the State over a much longer term. We are very supportive of this and we argue for it when we are in bodies like NESC. We do not have many conversations with Government, but whenever we do, we argue for that.
