Galway housing task force report

Summary

Catherine Connolly complained that the Galway housing task force report had not been published after years of delay. The Taoiseach said he had not seen the report and would ask the housing Minister to respond.

Breis agus ceithre bliana ó shin, bunaíodh tascfhórsa i nGaillimh maidir leis an ngéarchéim tithíochta mar bhí sé, agus tá sé, chomh dona sin. I mo thuairim, tá sé níos measa ná an ghéarchéim i mBaile Átha Cliath. Faraor géar, níl tásc ná tuairisc ar an tuarascáil sin. De réir mar a thuigim, tá sé i lámha an Aire ó mhí Iúil ach níl sé foilsithe fós. In the few seconds I have left, I will translate, although I know the Taoiseach understands Irish. More than four years ago, a task force was set up in respect of the very serious housing crisis in Galway. Four years later, there is no sign of a report. That gives a bad name to a task force as the housing crisis intensifies in Galway. I understand from the replies to a series of parliamentary questions I tabled that, finally, the report has been in the hands of the Minister for housing since July. It is almost the end of September. Cá bhfuil an tuarascáil?

I appreciate the translation. I picked up almost all of it but not everything. I have not seen the report but I will check with the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, and ask him to get back to the Deputy directly.
