Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform

Pre-Budget Submissions: Discussion (Resumed)

5:10 pm

Ms Niamh Randall:

In terms of the inventory price, there is a recommendation in the implementation plan on the State's response to homelessness, the March 2014 publication looking at an inventory of State land only. Part of the process is recommended. I do not have an update on where it is at. We are all involved and engaged in the national homelessness consultative committee and the cross-departmental team on homelessness. It is something we can bring back to that forum, that is, we should look at NAMA lands aso. This is something we, in Simon, have not considered to date, but it is something at which we should look. In terms of a social dividend, we should push and enforce it. Whether it was popped in at the last minute as a sop, we should push it and try to leverage something for the public, particularly if we are in the wind-down days of NAMA.
