Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government

I met with the company concerned in July 2017 and my Department has met with them on a number of occasions since. In addition, my Department received a submission from the company in the context of the review of Rebuilding Ireland.

My Department will be meeting the company again in the coming weeks, together with representatives from other bodies associated with their proposal regarding the delivery of affordable housing. After this meeting, my Department will be better placed to analyse and assess the proposal and identify the next steps to be taken, where appropriate, for my consideration and decision.
