Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Joe Delaney:

There was a target of 513 social units that were to be replaced. The social side, or replacement units for the units that were built, is largely completed or is under construction at present. The next phase we are now looking at is to move towards mixed-tenure developments on most schemes. We have two schemes with planning permission in the areas that we would like to put forward as mixed-tenure schemes. It comes back to the challenge around making up the difference between what people can afford and the cost of the scheme. That is something we are very much planning to move on. That is in our plans at present.
