Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 June 2021
226. Deputy Eoin Ó Broin asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage the number of social homes completed and the number of social homes in the pipeline availing of the one-stage approval process; and the number of those delivered to date and in the pipeline to date that have availed of the one-stage process since the threshold was increased. [34465/21]
Amharc ar fhreagraWhen first introduced in 2018, the single stage approval process applied to social housing projects up to the value of €2m but I increased this to €6m in September 2020, to give further options to local authorities.
77 projects delivering 216 homes have availed of the single stage option to date, of which 43 projects delivering 130 homes are either onsite or completed. Since the threshold was increased in September last, 23 projects for 43 units have availed of the process.
