Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Geaney:

There is an issue with viability when constructing apartments in the city. Cork is not unique in that. Through the various schemes involving the LDA or cost rental, notwithstanding the current restraints with the interest rate increase, we are hoping developers will engage with the LDA, with us and with the AHBs with a view to getting those sites to construction. We also want to get some private housing as part of that, which is really important.
