Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: I understand that these things, unfortunately, do not happen quickly but we are in the middle of a crisis so they need to happen quickly. I refer to HAP and the fact that 60% of outputs in 2019 were related to HAP payments. What was the budget for HAP in 2019?

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: HAP, essentially, as we need to be clear because some people might not understand, is subsidising private landlords to sort the problem that was created because of a disastrous housing policy.

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: When I was a local councillor in the early 2000s, a house in the housing estate in which I grew up came on the market. Usually, in these cases, the local authority would quickly purchase the house. It was good value and a house built by the council. The Department refused to allow the council to buy it, however. It was bought for €42,000. Since then, the owner of that house has...

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: Okay. That is crazy. That figure is not the housing need in that county.

Chapter 2 – Central Government Funding of Local Authorities. (25 Nov 2020) Matt Carthy: The legislation does not reflect the housing need in any county because we are talking about thousands of people who are in precarious accommodation, whatever way one looks at it, and it is not a long-term solution to their housing needs. To even suggest that it is a solution is spurious. The Chairman spoke of-----
