Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Feb 2022) Brian Stanley: I have a question about the occupancy of emergency accommodation.

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Feb 2022) Brian Stanley: There is another point relating to private rented accommodation. It is costing €7,800 per unit. Then, as I mentioned, the tenant in most cases pays a differential rent and also pays the top-up. The real cost of the unit, therefore, is far in excess of €7,800. That is the cost to the State and I accept that is the accurate figure you are giving. However, that is the 2020...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Feb 2022) Brian Stanley: I just wanted to clarify that. I will ask about the thresholds for social housing. One's income has to be under a certain level before one can go on the social housing waiting list. Those figures, as I recall, have not been reviewed since 2011. Different people, including Ministers, told me as far back as two years ago that a review was happening. There are some answers to parliamentary...

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Feb 2022) Brian Stanley: I will ask briefly about public private partnerships, PPPs. I have a lot of questions about PPPs that we will not have time to get into. Our guests are handed a policy, as I said earlier, to try to deal with this. Take, for example, the PPP for O'Devaney Gardens. Am I correct in saying that the cost to the State to purchase each of those units is €403,000?

Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Feb 2022) Brian Stanley: Sorry, but I want to use my time to find out about costs. I am interested in the cost per unit. We we all want more units and we are all on the same page in that regard. What I am saying here is that it seems the cost is in the region of €400,000. In fact, €403,000 is the figure I have but I am open to correction on that.
