Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Housing (Regulation of Approved Housing Bodies) Bill 2019: Discussion

Mr. Paul Lemass:

With the AHBs, the regulator would set policies and procedures through the performance management standard. An example from the current performance management standard states:

AHBs should aim to attain the highest levels of tenant occupancy and in turn avoid loss of rental income to the AHB. Close links and nomination agreements with Local Authorities can improve void turnaround times and AHBs are expected to take an outcome-focused approach to managing voids, allocations and lettings.

This is the kind of detail that one would expect to see in the performance standard. Is that the area the Deputy wanted to look at?
