Why was more notice not given to households in the areas at most risk? What...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Provision of Traveller Accommodation: Discussion (8 Mar 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: It is important to note that the 45% underspend last year compares with an overspend in the general social housing budget allocation.

There is an issue here of political leadership. That also applies to us. There...
