There is another issue in regard to housing maintenance. A number of issues arise in regard to Cork City Council's report highlighting serious issues with housing maintenance. Twelve recommendations were made but none was implemented, and there were no financial controls in place to identify the expenditure on each property. The council’s response was that national asset management would be rolled out in 2022 at the earliest. This is information we got from parliamentary questions but the LGAS also has it in its own report on Cork City Council. Housing maintenance is a major issue. As the auditors and those with oversight in respect of the funding that is being spent on housing maintenance, do our guests from LGAS believe it has been dealt with in an accountable way?
