Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Interim Report on Homelessness: Discussion
Ms Mary Hayes:
At present, we have a quality standards team based in the DHRE. Four people are working in that team. Until now, they have worked exclusively on NGO properties, but they will now also apply what are modified standards for private providers because, again, we are at the starting blocks with PEA. That team will monitor and manage the quality standards for PEA. That will be supplemented across all facilities, both NGO and private emergency, by the independent inspectorate.
