Chapter 13 - Pyrite Remediation Scheme. (26 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: That is good to hear. Returning to our earlier discussion, I have to get to the bottom of this issue. Again, I do not wish to circumvent anyone but Mr. O'Connor said that the Department is following up with HomeBond. When it comes to public authorities recouping moneys, I am concerned when someone says they are following up on it. How long has the Department been following up on it? It...

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: I welcome all the witnesses and thank them for the significant effort they put into this detail. My question is in regard to HAP and RAS. What are the performance targets in regard to how much we are spending on those? Is there a significant difference in how long people have been on them when they get their house? How are targets being set in that regard? It is very hard to discern how...

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: Is it a successful scheme? Should we continue with it? The figures, between the accommodation for homelessness and HAP, are significantly increasing whereas the housing stock seems to be going the other way. I am asking about the targets.

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: I appreciate that but does the Department feel the scheme is working? I see a significant issue in this regard with planning applications, for example, where developers apply for planning on the basis of dwellings per hectare and the next thing An Bord Pleanála overturns that and insists on 35 dwellings per hectare, and the development does not go ahead. The scheme is falling down...

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Verona Murphy: It is not the market's appetite to deliver. I am back to An Bord Pleanála's insistence in some instances of usurping the local development plan and insisting on 35 dwellings per hectare, and in rural areas particularly, which means a mix of apartments and a mix of houses. Essentially, one cannot build the apartment for less than one can sell it for. Those developments, therefore, do...
