Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Update on Affordable Homes, Public Lands, Strategic Planning and Projects: Land Development Agency

Mr. John Coleman:

I do not have that information to hand but that is a fair assumption. Where there are rules or regulations that can be adjusted at ministerial or departmental level, we found the Department to be quite open to that if there is an anomaly or some sort of blip that needs to be corrected in regulations. We engage with the Department all the time on this. We are okay regarding these homes being first to market and the help-to-buy purchasers not being ruled out.
