Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Peter McVerry Trust: Discussion
2:00 am
Mr. Niall Mulligan:
In terms of our position as an organisation and housing first, it might do no harm to put some context on it. We were providing housing first units, and we still are. When the tenders came up last year, though, I think it was roughly around August, we made a decision not to tender. We made that decision because we did not qualify under the relevant criteria. We did not then tender for those lots. As Ms Woods mentioned earlier, we are still managing housing first within Dublin and across a number of regions. Three of the lots tendered for last year are in the process of almost being completed and being transferred over to other organisations. My understanding is that nobody tendered for lot one and it will be put out for tender again.
