Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank Mr. Hogan and his team for the presentation and their work to date. I agree with the Chair, although this is not in any way a criticism of Mr. Hogan or his team, given we understand it was a decision of the Government, that we will definitely need a meeting in September. Moreover, although this is also an issue for the Minister rather than for the officials, the 12 September...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I get that, but this is a draft we will respond to and, obviously, while it might change, the Department has stated a number that is different from that of the ESRI or the Housing Commission. I am just interested to know how that number was derived.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I am honestly not being in any way belligerent, but the question is a simple one. The Department has stated a figure in the document and there is a reason that figure was chosen. According to the ESRI's report, structural demand will comprise on average 44,000 and the Housing Commission has calculated 60,000, adding 16,000 to the former figure Why is 50,000 the starting position?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: That is for structural demand.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: However, again, that does not answer the question as to why the figure is 50,000, because that does not make a reasonable allowance for the pent-up demand. We have one assessment of pent-up demand. It would have been much better if the ESRI had also been asked to carry out an assessment but, obviously, that was not permitted by the Government. The Housing Commission's report is not only...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I will finish on that point, because I do not agree. I do not believe it is reasonable and I do not believe that Mr. Hogan privately thinks it is reasonable either, but that is just my own view. The Housing Commission is telling us that over the same period, we need an average of at least 60,000 homes. If 50,000 was reasonable over the Department's trajectory, we would be under-delivering...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I fully accept that it is a document out to 2040 - that is in its title - but some of the revisions the Department has made to it are based on the assessment of what has worked or what has not worked or what needs to be tweaked. Therefore, in order for us to fully understand the changes the Department has made, understanding its own assessment of what is working, not working and partially...
