Barry Cowen (Offaly, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

It is some months since the publication online of the available sites around the country which are in the gift of many local authorities. The public was requested to express an interest in being considered by local authorities to develop sites on a contract or partnership basis into the future. Can the Minister ascertain at this stage the sort of response there has been and if it is from that source that affordable schemes are emanating? If so, is there a blueprint there for something to be initiated before the budget to honour the commitment that was given in budget 2016?
