2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Ms Caroline Timmons:

I can ask. I do not know whether it is available to the DRHE either. I will come back to the Deputy. It is no problem. It is available to the DRHE to have them Garda vetted if needs be. The DRHE is implementing the national quality standards framework for private emergency accommodation. It is already in place for long-term supported accommodation. The standards of the work the DRHE is doing are good and it is working hard in that respect.
