Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 24 - Justice and Equality

9:00 am

Mr. Aidan O?Driscoll:

It is a little bit of both. We use it for management purposes. We track it, which is sensible for the reasons suggested by the Deputy. At the same time, we have to balance that against the fact that we have to respond to what comes in on a tender. We try to balance these two factors as best we can. Regarding the long-term housing of those who achieve status, an allocation system which reflects population densities and so forth is being developed with the CCMA.

The answer to the Deputy’s question on the long-term housing of people is “Yes”. On the short-term housing, we do track it but we have to respond to whatever is tendered to us.
