Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Geaney:

Cork City Council has 105 units that will completed this year. As I outlined earlier, the Taoiseach will open 73 units at Lancaster Quay in Cork city at the end of October and there is a further 32 units at Ballinglanna in Glanmire. We have set our housing delivery action plan. We are engaging with the AHB sector and the LDA to develop a pipeline with regard to planning permissions that are in place in Cork but not yet activated. Again, we are confident that we will develop the pipeline and achieve our targets for the remainder of 2023, and for 2024 and 2025.
