Assessing house-site costs in CRVs

Summary

Quinn asks whether the revised system will control or change how site costs are assessed. Barrett says a reasonable site price is already considered and describes no specific change.

With reference to Question No. 11, did I hear the Minister say that he has no proposals to incorporate the cost of house sites in the CRVs?

The cost of house sites is always a factor.

Is there any proposal within the new system to revise the method of assessing the cost of sites? I know the cost of a site is included, but is there any element of price control implicit in the new system?

The only way we can do that in the working of the CRV system would be assessing what is a reasonable price.

Effectively there will be no change?

We are not debating housing. The Chair will not permit a long series of questions.
