Chapter 11 - Utilisation of the Land Aggregation Scheme Sites (14 Dec 2023) Verona Murphy: I welcome the witnesses back to the committee. I want to follow on from what Deputy Ó Cathasaigh asked Mr. Doyle. Mr. Doyle made a comment on the scale and breadth of his Department, of which housing is such a big part. Is he overwhelmed? Is the Department too big?

Chapter 11 - Utilisation of the Land Aggregation Scheme Sites (14 Dec 2023) Verona Murphy: Mr. Jordan stated, regarding the land aggregation, that some of the sites were not suitable and that the Housing Agency had offered them as Ukrainian accommodation sites. Is that correct? Why would the sites be suitable for accommodating Ukrainians if they were not suitable for accommodating Irish people?

Chapter 11 - Utilisation of the Land Aggregation Scheme Sites (14 Dec 2023) Verona Murphy: According to a report that came out yesterday, more than 100,000 Ukrainians have been taken in and 16,000 Ukrainians are in jobs. If it is not a place where an Irish person can live and avail of services, would it not be fair to say that it is an impediment to someone who comes here as refugee finding a job if the services are not available? We are not doing ourselves any favours.

Chapter 11 - Utilisation of the Land Aggregation Scheme Sites (14 Dec 2023) Verona Murphy: It was interesting that Mr. Jordan made the point. If it is the case that we will throw up a few modular homes on any bit of land that is available, I do not find that acceptable. I do not think anybody does. The lack of communication in our communities is giving rise to the far right being able to cause problems and riots. We are expected to integrate. That is what communities do but...

I certainly will write to the Department and the OPW. Will Mr. Jordan provide a list of the offered sites to the committee so that I can pinpoint them to the Department?

Chapter 11 - Utilisation of the Land Aggregation Scheme Sites (14 Dec 2023) Verona Murphy: No. The fact is that no Department is joining the dots. The Minister, Deputy O'Gorman, is taking the rap for it all but we all have a responsibility for integration, both to our own communities and to the refugees for whom we are responsible. We are not doing ourselves any favours in allowing a far-right element to blame the people for whom we cater in this regard. That is all I need to...

Chapter 11 - Utilisation of the Land Aggregation Scheme Sites (14 Dec 2023) Verona Murphy: If it had been doing it all along as a housing plan, I would accept it. However, it is not acceptable to say it is for one sector, refugees, and nobody else. They are generally - excuse the term - in the arsehole of nowhere, which just is not good enough.

Chapter 11 - Utilisation of the Land Aggregation Scheme Sites (14 Dec 2023) Verona Murphy: That is the context in which it is being developed and that is what is causing the problem. I want to go back to another matter. I received all the Department's answers to the questions I asked regarding the Peter McVerry Trust. I am not happy with the answers. They are detailed but vague. I asked when the Minister became aware and the answer I got was that the Department was advised in July.
