Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Homelessness: Discussion

Mr. Brendan Kenny:

On the inspections, we have no difficulty whatever with HIQA monitoring or inspecting emergency accommodation. It does not have that role at the moment. It would be a matter for the Government to decide to give it that role. We will be advertising for expressions of interest so if there is another agency, possibly one that is not a private company, which is prepared to do that, we will consider it.
