Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Housing Assistance Payment: Discussion

Mr. John-Mark McCafferty:

It comes out in the wash in a way. The real need is shown by virtue of someone remaining on the list and then being offered accommodation. If anything, what strikes me is trying to facilitate people in the private rented sector while there is very low supply. Certainly the experience of the emergency services in Cork is that people's dream is social housing. If anything, it is more the other way in that locality.
