Dublin housing and vacant homes

Summary

Joan Collins raises funding for Dublin City Council’s vacant-home programme and seeks a debate and ministerial explanation before the recess. The Ceann Comhairle says the homelessness matter and a debate request have already been raised.

I will give the Taoiseach a third opportunity to answer on the housing issue in Dublin City Council.

Dublin City Council turned around 230 voids with the money it got from the Government. It turned around another 200 without money from the Government and it still has 230 to turnaround.

Thank you Deputy, I think the point has been made.

The money is not coming through and there needs to be a debate in the Chamber on it. If the Taoiseach is going to the sub-committee will he ask the Minister to come to the House to explain to us what the situation is?
