Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Overview of 2014 Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion

12:30 pm

Mr. Ned Brennan:

Our bottom line is that the Government take away the obstacles in doing our job properly and efficiently. Two years ago, in the Government's housing statement, this sector was put centre stage to deliver social housing. In the intervening two years there has been nothing but obstacles put in our way. Our hands have been tied behind our back, a hood has been put over our head and we have been pushed into a river and told to find north. The obstacles include the PRTB, property tax and charities regulation. There is regulation followed by regulation and more regulation. It is a case of one obstacle after another. Take away the obstacles. We will do our job if the Government supports us and removes the various things that are preventing us from being able to move it along.
