Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (19 Jan 2023) Neasa Hourigan: I want to stick with that issue. For clarity, taking out the particular instance the Chair has provided, at the end of any kind of financial lien with an AHB, the AHB has full control over the asset and there is no allocation rights from the local authority. Is that correct? Okay. We can have a long conversation about value for money in terms of the State and having absolutely no...

Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (19 Jan 2023) Neasa Hourigan: It would be advisable for a regulator to have a standard practice of giving a meaningful response within a particular timeframe, stating that it will either roll this over to another regulatory body or close it out within that timeframe. It should at least have that as a guideline. Obviously if a tenant is experiencing something distressing or difficult, not having a timeframe is...

Section 2 Report – Unauthorised Release of Funds from the Central Fund of the Exchequer (19 Jan 2023) Neasa Hourigan: Now, but if we are spending €1.5 billion on this every year, for the foreseeable future, as part of Housing for All, immensely powerful, essentially non-profit corporations will operate with little oversight in this country. The Charities Regulator will not become a housing regulator.

That is a State approach that will allow us to fund something that we will not have control over as an asset. On the Chair's point,...
