‹ An tOrd Gnó - Order of Business Homelessness and tenant in situ policy
Summary
Deputy O'Callaghan argued the Government’s housing decision would worsen record homelessness and sought full accountability and statements.
At a time when we have record homelessness, the Government has made a decision that is going to increase homelessness further. The explanations we have been given so far hold no weight. We have been told that 1,500 new homes will be purchased as part of the tenant in situ programme, but that had already been announced by the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage. We urgently need full accountability in respect of and statements on this matter.
