Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government

9:00 am

Mr. John Hannigan:

There were two or three where the income from housing was below a certain threshold level because they were bigger organisations that had other service incomes such as special needs income etc. They were not included within it. The Chairman was saying it is above the Minister and I agree that it is above any single Minister. In fairness to some of the Ministers, the Taoiseach, the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government have all come out in public with support for getting reclassified and that is what is actually needed. An all-of-Government approach is required in order to deal with it.
