Pat Casey: ...need a percentage of HAP but there is a huge over-reliance on HAP at the moment and it is just throwing good money after bad money. When will we see the pendulum swing away from HAP and towards more long-term delivery? It is a short-term measure where we need a long-term solution. It is just a loss of good money after bad money.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Cost Rental Housing Model: Discussion (12 Jul 2018)

Pat Casey: I welcome the presentations. I read some of these reports well over a year ago and it is frustrating to see how long it takes to get anything done. Dr. Healy referred to the question of whether something was on the balance sheet or off it but we have come so far in the housing crisis that we would look at anything that might be a solution. This offers an off-balance sheet model that could...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Cost Rental Housing Model: Discussion (12 Jul 2018)

Pat Casey: ...should control, either through a housing company of Ireland or directly through the State which would have a sustainable balancing factor on the market? On the model itself, I am not sure how long Austria has the cost rental model, but as soon as the loan and finance costs are paid, I assume that the rent does not come down and that the money is reinvested. Is that reinvested in...

Vote 16 - Valuation Office (Revised)
Vote 23 - Property Registration Authority (Revised)
Vote 34 - Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government (Revised) (6 Mar 2019)

While HAP is a necessary scheme, it involves spending a large amount on a short-term solution to a long-term problem.
