Committee on Budgetary Oversight

Fiscal Assessment Report: Irish Fiscal Advisory Council

2:00 pm

Mr. Seamus Coffey:

That may be the case. It is difficult to say. One issue when it comes to public housing and public capital expenditure on housing is that it is increasing. It is ramping up. If one looks at 2015, the total capital spend on housing was approximately €350 million. By next year it will be more than €1.1 billion. That is a trebling in just three years.
