Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Homelessness Issues: Discussion
Mr. Wayne Stanley:
Yes, my comment is very similar to that of Mr. McCafferty. I would have liked to have seen an extension to the moratorium while the tenant in situ scheme was being ramped up, as well as those other initiatives. It would have been good to have all of that in place. However, I am cognisant that that did not happen during the five months of the ban and it was only in its final month that the scheme started to ramp up and the pressure came on. It seems that sometimes we need that imperative. Instinctively, I would say "Yes" but I am also cognisant that we have made progress since the ban was lifted because of the pressure that brought on the system. I do not know where that answer leaves the Deputy.
