Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: Cost rental was new two and a half years ago. We have amended it to make sure it is viable in the schemes we are bringing forward. A lot of the big schemes we are seeing now are cost-rental apartments and multi-unit developments, which are great. A lot of them are what were paused planning permissions. The LDA, to deal with it first, whose representatives were before the committee...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: I have a couple of questions for the Minister, and then I want to raise something on the housing adaptation grants. With these Supplementary Estimates, the combination for homelessness, subhead A13, will be €385 million in 2024 and the amount budgeted for 2025 is just €303 million in comparison. This seems to be happening every year, where the amount budgeted for homeless...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Supplementary) (16 Oct 2024)

We are seeing, not just in regard to the number of beds that need to be provided, because...

Darragh O'Brien: We are in a good position this year. We will be coming back to the committee with a supplementary to spend additional money on social housing delivery and the other things we have spoken of.
