Public Accounts Committee: 2020 Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 34 - Housing, Local Government and Heritage (17 Feb 2022)

Cormac Devlin: One of the items I did not touch on earlier was cost rental. The Department is estimating 2,000 new cost rental homes per year until 2030. I noted there were very quick turnarounds on the calls to the AHBs. There was one call on 14 December with a closing date of 5 January but the decision was made very shortly after that on 8 February. That is good because it means that there are quick...

Cormac Devlin: Yes please, that would be great. I turn to retrofitting. Since the announcement of the new retrofitting scheme we have all been inundated with queries. I am conscious that some years ago local authorities started retrofitting schemes themselves. There is increased funding for that. My local authority of Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown has made great progress on that. Some schemes are...

Cormac Devlin: Looking at the voids that were done and the extra funding that was given over the last two years, I presume that shallow retrofits are done at that point as well so therefore the numbers are increasing.

Cormac Devlin: Finally, an issue we have dealt with for some time is the domestic violence refuges. I appreciate the comprehensive update on that. I note Tusla being the lead agency under the capital assistance scheme, CAS. I think the review and the interdepartmental working group that was established found there were nine local authority areas without any domestic violence refuge. Acknowledging that...

Cormac Devlin: I welcome Mr. Doyle and his colleagues. It is good to have them here again. I thank them for the briefing material they have supplied. It has proven beneficial. I will focus on the Comptroller and Auditor General's opening statement initially. The Comptroller and Auditor referred to HAP. Many questions have already been asked this morning about that scheme. The 20% discretion of local...

Cormac Devlin: I am surprised. I thought it would be higher. I thank Mr. Doyle. My experience chimes with what Deputy Hourigan said in respect of disabilities. I had a case recently involving somebody with a physical disability where the requirement for their accommodation differed from that of an able-bodied person. Therefore, the discretion was not sufficient to secure a property they required....

Cormac Devlin: In the note he sends on, will Mr. Doyle break it down for the four local authorities in Dublin? I suspect RAS is more prevalent in urban than rural areas, but I await the figures. I turn to the major capital projects mentioned in note 2. It is 2.9.D, pages 18 to 20. There is a reference to 37 housing construction projects funded directly by the Department in 2020, of which projects 28...

You could insult one Independent and have a complaint made against you, perhaps to the Press Ombudsman himself. In all seriousness, I thank Mr. Feeney for his attendance and for the opportunity for the committee to examine the annual...
