Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Brian Geaney:
The Deputy will be aware that four schemes are under construction. These will be completed this year. The Deputy is correct to say that in the scheme at Boherboy Road a two-bedroom house costs €217,500, while a three-bedroom house costs €243,000. It is fair to say, however, that every site is different. Some sites are more complex than others. The Boherboy Road scheme will be cheaper than the other schemes under construction because the land was owned by Cork City Council, whereas the council had to acquire the land for the other three schemes under construction.
