HRI and the Land Development Agency (LDA) are in talks about the transfer of part of the site so that it can be used to build social and affordable housing, The Irish Times reported on Tuesday.

Local authorities received over 1,100 notifications to convert commercial buildings to new homes between 2018 and 2023

Simon Harris said the boost of supply has not yet had an impact on housing affordability as they were still catching up with demand.

Darragh O’Brien said that, despite ‘good momentum’, he is ‘acutely aware’ of the number of homeless people in Ireland.
