Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Affordable Housing: Discussion (18 Jun 2019)

Eoin Ó Broin: I have one technical question. To go back to the 25-year EIB loan for St. Michael's, if it had to be paid in full over the 25 years, would that make it difficult to achieve rent below €1,200 a month if the serviced site fund was equivalent to that of Enniskerry Road?
