Public Accounts Committee

2021 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 40 - Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth (Resumed)

9:30 am

Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

There is a set of questions that we ask all people who are offering accommodation to respond to through the offers portal. So there is a standard appraisal approach then, based on that. They are triaged, in the first instance, on the basis of capacity and availability, how quickly are they available and what kind of capacity do they offer us. There are standards that were agreed with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage at the very outset in terms of any properties for vacant possession that are not hotels, for example.
