Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion
Mr. Coil?n O'Reilly:
From our point of view, it is a worry that the number of people coming in will match only the number of units being built. That is up to us and that is why we are significantly ramping up delivery to almost 10,000 units over that period. If we had delivered, over the past five years or the five years before that, what we plan to deliver over the next five years, we would be in a much better position than we are now. There is a commitment there and a significant number of units are coming on board. We know it will not solve all the problems of housing need from a social housing perspective, but it will allow us to begin to solve it.
