‹ Order of Business Housing waiting lists
Summary
Michael P. Kitt asks what legislation will address lengthy housing waiting lists and rising homelessness; the Taoiseach says the housing assistance Bill is due in early 2014.
What legislation will the Government be bringing before the House to deal with our current housing waiting lists? There is no Bill in section A and section B of the programme of legislation to deal with very long housing waiting lists. For example, there is a waiting list of eight years east or west of the city of Galway. There has been a reference to an 88% increase in homelessness in recent years. What legislation will be brought before the House to deal with those issues?
