Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 23 June 2015
583. Deputy Barry Cowen asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government when we should expect the publication of the national framework for housing supply that was promised in the Government's Construction 2020 document to be completed by quarter two, 2014; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24640/15]
View answerAction 1 under Construction 2020 includes a commitment to put in place a National Framework for Housing Supply, ensuring a balanced approach in which the supply of housing is matched with projected demand, and in which emerging imbalances can be identified and rectified at an early stage. A core aspect of the National Housing Framework is the analysis of supply and projected demand data, broken down on a national and local basis, with information on housing types and sizes a key feature. This action also includes a commitment to publish an annual National Statement of Projected Housing Supply and Demand. The Housing Agency is leading on delivery of this action. The Framework is at an advanced stage of drafting and I expect the first of these Statements to be finalised very shortly.
