Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Verona Murphy: The biggest issue with viability is densities, and Mr. Doyle has been told time and time again, not least by me but also by every local authority and every AHB, that they cannot make the cost-rental model work because of the density levels that are imposed through planning policy. Has Mr. Doyle changed the planning policy? Have the densities been lowered to where they would be viable?

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Verona Murphy: The Department decided to increase densities and spend €6 billion of taxpayers' money. Rather than address the issue and lower densities, Mr. Doyle has decided to throw €6 billion of taxpayers' money at building apartments that are not commencing because they are not viable. Will Mr. Doyle tell me where the cost-benefit analysis is from his Department that justifies that?

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Verona Murphy: It is as simple as that. The Department will probably find that is what the public consultation says. What I am asking Mr. Doyle is, where is the cost-benefit analysis that supports the commencement that he says will happen of 6,000 apartments that will cost the taxpayer €6 billion?

Chapter 6: Central Government Funding of Local Authorities (1 Jun 2023) Verona Murphy: On 25 April, a scheme was announced where the Department is to spend three quarters of a billion euro it believes will commence the building of 6,000 apartments where there are grants of planning but they have not commenced. I want to see the cost-benefit analysis. Let me give Mr. Doyle my cost-benefit analysis. If the Department was to do what I have been saying for three years, as well...
