Housing and corruption legislation

Summary

Thomas Broughan seeks dates for housing legislation and a debate on tribunal-related justice issues. The Taoiseach outlines the staged timing of the housing Bill and says he has no publication date for the corruption legislation.

When does the Taoiseach expect to bring forward proposals in respect of the housing Bill? Last year he told me he was going to bring forward comprehensive proposals to deal with the collapse in the provision of social housing. We now have vast housing lists, but no action is being taken to deal with them.

Yesterday I asked about the criminal justice (corruption) Bill. Will the Taoiseach organise a debate on the actions being taken by the Minister for Justice and Equality and the Director of Public Prosecutions on the Flood-Mahon and Moriarty tribunals? It is a long time since we received an update on the outcomes and the issue of accountability in terms of the reports of the two tribunals.

What legislation does this come under?

The housing Bill is split into three elements. The one dealing with rents will be taken next session, while the other two will be taken later in the year. I do not have a date for publication of the prevention of corruption Bill.
