Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Report of Housing Commission: Housing Commission

2:00 am

Professor Michelle Norris:

We received a letter from the Minister disbanding us. I sat on several of these commissions but never received a similar letter, namely a letter disbanding me.

We have had very limited engagement with the Department of housing. I acknowledge that I have had some on social housing, but it has been very limited. We were told the Housing Agency was being commissioned to do a full costing of the implementation of the commission’s report but we have never seen that or been engaged on that in any way. If colleagues from the Department of housing appear before the committee, it would be very nice, from my perspective, if members asked them where the report is.
