Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Affordable Housing: Discussion

Mr. Jim Baneham:

It was passed by the Oireachtas approximately ten years ago. It was not implemented for a period of time because it was felt during the recession that there was not as much of an affordability issue. It was implemented more recently. The regulations are not complete. I believe that at a recent meeting of the committee the Minister undertook to make the remaining regulations available by the autumn of this year.
