Social housing regulation Bill

Summary

Ray Butler asks when legislation strengthening social-housing regulation will be published, citing confusion and long waiting lists. The Taoiseach says the housing Bill will be published next year.

Peace process.

When can we expect to see publication of the housing Bill to strengthen the regulatory framework for social housing? We were left with a framework by the previous Administration. In certain local authority areas Mystic Meg would not know a person was on the housing waiting list. We definitely need a new framework.
