Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. I wish to acknowledge the very significant work they and their teams do, particularly in the housing and homelessness section. It is not lost on members of the committee that often that very significant work at the front line goes unacknowledged. I want to convey my thanks and my party's thanks to their staff. I wish to discuss the targets....

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: The council's social housing target, between the builds and the buys, is about 9,000.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: Does Mr. O'Reilly know roughly how many new households come onto the housing list each year? Obviously, it is not just about the total number of people who need housing now but also the emerging need. Is that a calculation the Department asks the council to factor in when working out the targets?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: Roughly what comes onto the list each year? I acknowledge it is difficult to say.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: Perfect. What about in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: Would it be fair to say in the case of both councils that the targets that have been set will meet about half of the total current need but not take into account emerging need as we go? For Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown, it is a little higher for social housing. If there are 25,000 households in need of social housing, and the target is higher than the 9,000 set by the Department, it will be...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: Is there a possibility in either council that even with the delivery of those targets, challenging and all as they are, the gross need at the end of, say, 2026 could be similar to what it is now because the total number of people looking for social housing in both local authority areas is growing? Therefore, while something will be taken off the HAP transfer list, gross need could be not far...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: Would it be fair to say that in Mr. Curran's local authority, like in others, the list has come down almost in proportion to HAP going up and that there is a relationship between those two figures?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I accept that. I will ask my final question because I am almost out of time. On the affordable target for Dublin City Council, between it, the approved housing bodies and the LDA, the figure is 4,000 affordable homes to 2026, or 800 homes a year, although they will not get to them until 2024 or 2025. The figure for Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is 1,549. Given the...

Eoin Ó Broin: It is less than the council's own housing needs demand assessment.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: What about Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: We might get those figures from both local authorities on the emerging need on the list each year for the past few years.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: Would it be possible to get a figure? We have tried to get one from the Department and the Housing Agency previously but we have not been able to get it. I wonder whether it would be possible to circulate it to the committee at a later stage.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (11 Oct 2022)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank everyone for the information so far. Can I ask Mr. Curran for one small clarification? He said Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown was doing 306 cost rentals. That is what it says in its housing delivery plan. Am I right in thinking that they are the Shanganagh cost rentals? Would it not be more correct to say that they are LDA cost rentals in the sense that when the scheme is finished,...
