Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: I thank the witnesses for coming before us. I apologise as I had initially requested as part of our work programme that they would be asked before the committee but, unfortunately, I had two oral parliamentary questions selected to be put to the Taoiseach today. One does not fail to show up for the Taoiseach. I thank the witnesses for their contributions so far and I apologise for not...

Paul McAuliffe: It is a frustration on our side. The legislative and funding work has been done so now we expect to have the houses in six months; I appreciate that this is not possible.

I would just like to clarify, whether 50 is the total overall number he...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Social and Affordable Housing: Discussion (Resumed) (29 Mar 2022)

Paul McAuliffe: That is fine. That concept of mixed tenure is very crucial. I represent Ballymun and Finglas and we know building mono-tenure and mono-income, particularly low-income, is not the way forward. However, sometimes the complexity of the mixed tenure and mixed income provides a real challenge for local authorities to get their head around and get implementation. What I believe the AHBs are...
