I propose to take Questions Nos. 1037 to 1039, inclusive, and 1041 to1043, inclusive, together.

The construction of housing by developers on lands which benefit from Local Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund (LIHAF) funding is separate from the local authority-led delivery of the infrastructure, both contractually and in terms of delivery schedules.

While it is a matter for individual local authorities to manage the procurement and delivery of their capital projects, by necessity the construction of housing, to a significant extent, generally commences later in the overall development process than the LIHAF-funded facilitating infrastructure.Housing is generally delivered on a phased basis and the sites referred to are the subject of active and ongoing construction programmes.

In relation to the homes delivered and linked to the construction of LIHAF grant funded facilitating infrastructure, individual sales prices are not systematically collated by my Department. However, in respect of the more affordable/cost reduced homes, Kildare County Council has advised that, in relation to the 150 homes linked tothe Naas LIHAF project, the relevant Development Agreement provided for a cost reduction of €7,500 per unit on the open market value. As part of the Oldtown/Mooretown project, Fingal County Council has confirmed that the agreement provides that in addition to 10% social housing, the open market value of remaining units would have a cost reduction on open market values of €2,500.

In respect of Part V homes generally, the Planning and Development Act 2000 requires that 10% of any development be made available for social housing. Local authorities will ensure adherence to statutory obligations and the sites in question will deliver on this requirement in the overall period up to completion. In some cases, the required level of 10% will be exceeded. The planned number of homes for each LIHAF project and the associated homes to be delivered under Part V are set out in the Table below.

Details of the LIHAF projects by local authority area, budget allocation, project description and projected housing delivery are available on the Rebuilding Ireland website at the following link: www.rebuildingireland.ie/LIHAF.
