Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Housing for Older People: Discussion (Resumed)

12:00 pm

Ms Mary Hurley:

Our finding is that local authorities do not have too much difficulty in providing the funding. The 20% requirement is important from the point of view of additionality. We can give an amount but it is important for local authorities to recognise that they need to put something back into communities as well. It is the additionality that is important with the 20%.
