I thank the officials from South Dublin County Council and Fingal County Council for joining us to discuss the delivery of Housing for All. Their opening statements were insightful and welcome and like other committee members I would like to acknowledge the work they do to deliver homes in difficult circumstances. I was a councillor on South Dublin County Council and I know the great work it has done across the county. I witnessed and appreciated the ongoing continuous work staff did to build homes.
I have four short questions for both councils. Regarding tenantsin situ, are the councils actively buying properties from landlords and have the councils made landlords aware this option is available?
