Not a single site in Cork has been made available in the three years of the Ready to Build scheme
Under the terms of the scheme, local authorities are to make serviced sites in towns and villages available to individuals to build their principal private residence on. The intention of the scheme is that local authorities would develop existing sites in their control or purchase them, add services and then sell them at a discount on the market value to potential house builders. The level of discount depends on the servicing cost incurred by the local authority and goes up to a maximum of €30,000. The Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage then recoups the local authority for the money spent providing servicing on the sites. First-time buyers are prioritized under the scheme, followed by those with particular needs or people who want to move to live in a town or village. However, at a recent meeting of the Southern Division of Cork County Council, the Council's Housing Directorate, responding to a question by East Cork Councillor Eamonn Horgan (Social Democrats), said that no sites have been made available under the scheme in County Cork to date. In response, Councillor Horgan has branded the scheme a failure in the county. "It's a disappointing response — three years into the scheme and zero sites offered. It has clearly failed to date. I was hopeful and optimistic when this scheme was announced and now it's frustration and annoyance," he told the Irish Independent. "It's the human cost that's being overlooked in all these failed schemes proposed by the government. Homelessness. Mental health issues. Families having children later in life due to the uncertainty and cost of housing. Society is being upended. We need to get serious. We need to start thinking outside the box from a council level and national level in how we are going to get these schemes moving. We need to build more houses — before we lose yet another generation to delay and dysfunction," Councillor Horgan added. Cork County Council told the Irish Independent that a small number of sites are being considered for the scheme in North Cork, but they can't be sold at present due to servicing issues. The Council said it is seeking to acquire land for all of its housing programmes, including the Ready to Build Scheme.
