Public Accounts Committee

2019 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Planning and Local Government.
Local Government Fund
Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities.

4:30 pm

Mr. Graham Doyle:

In terms of HAP tenancies, it is a way to meet a housing need and, given the challenges the State and the economy have had in the overall build space in recent years as we try to ramp up that build, there has been a reliance - at least a partial or significant reliance - on current expenditure measures to try to put a roof over people's heads.

HAP has played an important role in that. As we deliver more and more social housing, we would like to see the numbers on HAP reduce over a period of time.
