Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Challenges Relating to the Delivery of Housing: Discussion (Resumed)

2:00 am

Mr. Martin Whelan:

I will ask my colleague, Pat Fitzpatrick, who is the acting director of services and inclusion, to respond. Before I do, I referenced the ESRI and the Central Bank in the context of a specific question. The reason I say that is because the heart of the Housing Agency’s mission is to provide homes that people need, to provide social housing and to provide specialised and customised housing for people who are most affected and most at risk in the housing sector. I make that point to support the comment the Senator made. I ask to Mr. Fitzpatrick to intervene please.
