QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor D. Looney

"To ask the Chief Executive, in the midst of the ongoing homelessness and housing crisis, if there are any plans for the further provision or building of public houses in the area under the remit of this Committee, and to make a statement on the matter?"

REPLY:

"The Part VIII social housing build programme is currently progressing the Killininny build project which is due to go to tender in June 2017. This is a rapid build project which will deliver 24 housing units in 2018. The next phase of the Part VIII build programme is currently under review to identify sites countywide with plans to recommence the Part VIII planning process in the final quarter of 2017.

Based on current live planning applications it is estimated that 20 social housing units will be delivered under Part V of the Planning & Development Act during 2017 within this electoral area. Through the Part V mechanism a further 25 units are estimated to be delivered into 2018."
