Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

The Minister with responsibility for housing is working on a new action strategy for housing. The Minister for Justice and Equality is considering a new and enhanced service from the Money Advice & Budgeting Service, MABS, which would deal specifically with these issues. This will be brought forward as soon as possible. It is in everybody's interest that as many people as possible are allowed to stay in their homes. These timelines mean that an alternative service has to be produced in order that people can avail of these facilities to stay in their homes. I will update Deputy Boyd Barrett on the work that is under way. A new enhanced MABS is being considered and worked on to deal with many of these kinds of cases.
