Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Urban Regeneration: Discussion

Mr. Ivan Grimes:

Flexibility on the existing schemes is good. As Mr. Clegg alluded to, we need to develop an affordable rental model that could go side by side with the repair and lease scheme, which would give mixed tenure. One would also bring in more properties because some property owners are resistant to going down the social route.
