QUESTION NO. 11

QUESTION: Councillor K. Mahon

To ask the Chief Executive can he comment on what impact inflation and rising costs of material will have on the provision of affordable homes at Killinarden, Kilcarbery , the Belgard Square site and any other proposed affordable housing initiatives on council owned land

REPLY:

While there is significant concern about the potential cost impacts on the projects cited in the question due to inflation, supply chain, labour availability and other issues, these will only be fully determined at upcoming tender and other key project milestones.  These impacts and potential mitigation measures will be considered in consultation with the Elected Members as well as the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage and other relevant stakeholders.
