Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementation of Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms AnnMarie Farrelly:

Mr. Burns mentioned the town centre regeneration officer. That is a key role. That person looks at what opportunities there are within our towns and villages. It is limited in the towns the Deputy would be familiar with but any opportunity is worth exploring. Regarding Balbriggan and our involvement in the town centre and our acquisition of properties, I would like to see those units transformed into living units, perhaps with some commercial activity on the ground floor.
