Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Update on Homelessness: Discussion

Mr. John Durkan:

We have a live emergency accommodation tender. It has been live on the eTenders platform for the last two years. The accommodation specification and process is there as part of the tender documents. The initial assessment process reviews the use of the building, fire safety and the entity involved. The terms are negotiated by the city valuers. The due diligence takes place when we go to contract with our law agent and the respective solicitors involved. It is during that process.
