Local Authorities
Dail Éireann — 2025-07-01
============================================================

Conor Sheehan (LAB), Limerick City

I thank the Minister. From my point of view and that of the local authority, this entire project is essentially being held up because of €5 million, which is a very small sum of money in the grand scale of things. This project has been in planning since last year and was first announced in May 2024. We have had the highest percentage increase in house prices in Limerick in the past year because we have such a shortage of housing. From the Minister's response, it sounds like the release of the €5 million will be delayed until after the review of the NDP. Will he confirm whether the funding will be released soon or if it will be deferred until the NDP review is published?
