Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Brian Geaney:

On the projects that were being looked at, we have now partnered with the Peter McVerry Trust. As for the issues when we went back to the property owners themselves, the longevity of the lease was a particular issue. People were slow to commit to a longer term lease. They might have been prepared to commit to a shorter term lease.
