Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government

To date, my Department has approved funding for two schemes using the single-stage approval process.

A number of other schemes, that may be advanced using this approach, are currently being discussed between local authorities and my Department, as part of the informal consultation that happens at technical level, in the development of new construction proposals.
