Mr. Timmins
asked the
Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government
the steps he will take to encourage the provision of private sites by local authorities.
[27601/04]
Minister of State at the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (Mr. N. Ahern):
It is open to local authorities to provide housing sites at reasonable cost to assist persons in housing need to provide their own housing. Some authorities have a limited capacity to provide housing sites at reasonable cost to individuals who wish to provide their own housing because of the land requirements for a significantly increased number of projects involving the provision of social and affordable housing directly by local authorities. It is estimated that local authorities will provide around 100 sites for [1570]sale in the current year. My Department will continue to keep this measure under review.
