Committee on Housing and Homelessness

Housing Agency

10:30 am

Mr. Conor Skehan:

I thank the Deputy for raising that issue about which we feel passionately. The agency believes that above all else - before we clear vacancies, before we do things to do with building - we need to stop anybody else ending up in these circumstances. Preventing people ending up in these circumstances must be everybody's priority. Again, this goes back to the need for us to regard housing as something that needs management as well as building. We could speak for half an hour on the importance of this issue, but we only have a couple of moments. It is critical and I thank the Deputy for raising it.
