In 2008 the government issued a directive to all Local Authority County Managers that they were to put into place a formal policy for taking into charge completed developments.

The issue of unfinished housing developments featured heavily at the 2011 Irish Planning Institute Conference, with a stated determination to tackle this issue at National level.

Galway City Council (GCC) have secured the first tranche of funding to remove bottleneck roundabouts on the N6 through Galway City, with a budget of €6m for the first phases.

The draft guidance document 'Managing and Resolving Unfinished Housing Developments', published by the DoEHLG , will lead to "due diligence" assignments on behalf of financial institutions, receivers, local authorities, NAMA, etc., once the final guidance document is published during this summer of this year.
