The Minister has been invited in the first instance to help us to get to the bottom of this matter. If he is...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Homeless Figures: Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government (20 Jun 2018)

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Homeless Figures: Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government (20 Jun 2018)
Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister for the detail of his replies. Picking up on a few bits and pieces, I am not sure whether the CSO is the right agency to compile future housing reports. I have not made up my mind on the matter. If the Minister is of a mind to consider it and debating it with his officials, he should consider including in the figures, in a way that they can be separated out in order...
