“The Government’s over-reliance on private developers for social housing delivery is high cost and high risk,” Mr Ó Broin said, noting that just 1,976 homes were delivered by local authorities and AHBs on public land.
“While turnkeys and Part V must remain central to social housing delivery in the coming years, what these figures show is that Government must focus on increasing the direct delivery output of local authorities and Approved Housing Bodies,” he said. “This will require increased investment and reform of the approval and tendering processes imposed on councils and housing bodies when delivering social homes.
