Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Affordable Housing: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Eddie Taaffe:

No, there are significant portions of land that are already serviced where there is no infrastructural deficit. A lot of that is either being developed or in the process of being developed or has planning permissions on it that are part of the normal pipeline of housing development. However, there is no doubt about it that as we zone additional lands, additional investment in services will be required.
