Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Housing Provision for Older People: Discussion

Ms Caroline Timmons:

My apologies, but I do not work in the planning division so I will address that question from the best of my knowledge. When we had walked through the Vienna concept, it is certainly just the cost rental costs that the Deputy will have seen. I have not seen it coming through into planning as affordable zoning as we do not zone for tenure-type, as things stand. I do not know if there has been any consideration in the Department of that. I can check when I return to the Department if there have been any particular moves on that front but I am not aware of any at the moment.
