Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Unlocking Barriers to the Delivery of Housing: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Ronan Columb:

I referred to the concept of heat maps in the opening statement. We believe the infrastructure task force, along with the utility companies and the local authorities should be identifying lands that are in the control of capable entities that can deliver mass housing, and the focus of infrastructure should be on those lands. Hopefully, when we do get an engagement with the infrastructure group that is the outcome.
