Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Implementing Housing for All: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Caroline Curley:
If it is a standard void with not too much money to be spent, by which I mean less than €25,000, that should not be delayed too much. We have to get out there and inspect it. We decide either to do it ourselves directly or appoint a contractor. We have frameworks in place for many of these and we try to get the contractors out. We would hope to turn around a void within three to four months. That would be a reasonable turnaround. Some are faster. Others that require the full gamut of work can take six or seven months. That is the reality.
