Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: I welcome all the witnesses and thank them for the significant effort they put into this detail. My question is in regard to HAP and RAS. What are the performance targets in regard to how much we are spending on those? Is there a significant difference in how long people have been on them when they get their house? How are targets being set in that regard? It is very hard to discern how...

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: Is it a successful scheme? Should we continue with it? The figures, between the accommodation for homelessness and HAP, are significantly increasing whereas the housing stock seems to be going the other way. I am asking about the targets.

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: I appreciate that but does the Department feel the scheme is working? I see a significant issue in this regard with planning applications, for example, where developers apply for planning on the basis of dwellings per hectare and the next thing An Bord Pleanála overturns that and insists on 35 dwellings per hectare, and the development does not go ahead. The scheme is falling down...

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: It is not the market's appetite to deliver. I am back to An Bord Pleanála's insistence in some instances of usurping the local development plan and insisting on 35 dwellings per hectare, and in rural areas particularly, which means a mix of apartments and a mix of houses. Essentially, one cannot build the apartment for less than one can sell it for. Those developments, therefore, do...

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: If it puts in a minimum density that is not in the guidelines, it is an illegal function. There is no minimum density within the guidelines, and yet An Bord Pleanála is insisting that this is what a developer must build, namely, 35 dwellings per hectare. The former Minister did not write that letter. We now have a new Minister who has not got around to it either. I believe that it is...

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: There is no problem in that regard. The point I am making is that if 40,000 permissions were granted we did not build 40,000. They did not go ahead. The significant issue is to ask the question "Why and what is the problem?" That is all. I ask that Ms Graham might forward to the committee the report she has quoted from.
