Simon Coveney (Cork South Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has a pilot project in co-operation with the Housing Agency and approved housing bodies at Enniskerry Road, Dundrum. While it is relatively small scale with 50 cost-rental units, it will be a proof of concept. We are absolutely committed to affordable rental and cost rental as well as using land banks the State owns strategically today to ensure we can deliver on the potential of that model.

The Government also insists that we want to create mixed-tenure communities where social housing is next-door to affordable rental, next-door to privately owned property.
