Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Strategic Housing Developments: Discussion

Ms Rachel Kenny:

That is not for the board to say. However, as my colleague mentioned, it is not just about the land banking. In a number of instances we know that the viability of the schemes permitted is at issue and that, perhaps, a carrot and stick approach may be necessary because the cost of infrastructure and so forth must be taken into consideration. There is compliance to be considered as well.
