Eoin Ó Broin (Dublin Mid West, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

We were all shocked by what we saw in "Nightmare to Let", the RTÉ "Prime Time Investigates" documentary which was televised last November. What actions has the Minister taken in the period since then? While the primary responsibility rests with local authorities, they are dependent on legislation. There have been calls for stronger legislation to define "overcrowding" and for greater resources to assist with inspections. I ask the Minister to update the House on actions his Department has taken since November.
