Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 6 July 2022
71. Deputy Steven Matthews asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage if he will report on any research carried out by or on behalf of his Department regarding demand for apartments from owner occupier buyers; if this research has demonstrated interest in apartment living and apartment ownership; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36460/22]
View answerMy Department commissioned independent research including, inter alia, the demand for owner-occupier apartments as part of the development process for the Croí Cónaithe (Cities) Scheme.
The research, which suggested considerable interest in apartment living and apartment homeownership, helped inform the scheme criteria and how the scheme might work. It is hoped to make the research available later in the year once the broader scheme development process has been completed.
