Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion

Mr. Barry O'Leary:

I do not have a lot extra to add to that. It is quite clear, and the concept is proven at this stage, there is a requirement for housing. We have to go beyond the AHBs. Local authorities and everybody should be involved. If we get to the point where we have too many houses that will be terrific, but we need to get scale.
