Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Construction Industry Federation (3 May 2016)

Brendan Ryan: Returning to Part V, I agree with others that it should be 20%. The witnesses' presentation indicated that the operation of Part V contributes to restricting new residential building activity and puts upward pressure on all costs. We have dealt with the costs. I would question the argument about it restricting new activity. My sense of the building industry is that for other reasons...

Committee on Housing and Homelessness: Irish League of Credit Unions (5 May 2016)

Brendan Ryan: Regarding the possibility of the credit unions getting into this area, my understanding is that the Central Bank as their regulator is a problem.
