Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government
Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government (Resumed)
11:30 am
Mr. David Walsh:
The issue is the terms that are set down in the grant agreement between the developer and the local authority. We have not set a requirement that each local authority on LIHAF lands creates an affordable scheme and has a list. If a dividend is coming through, the local authority is best placed to determine how best to meet the needs of local people. The grant agreement will address that.
