Home Ownership: Motion [Private Members] (31 May 2023)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank Deputy O'Callaghan and the Social Democrats for tabling this important motion. The more I listen to the Minister of State, the more I am of the view that it is just not possible to take the Government seriously when it comes to housing. If there was ever a definition of Orwellian doublespeak, it is coming to the House today and telling us that he believes in home ownership while at...

Eoin Ó Broin: I have two supplementary questions before I go to Simon. I know that in a number of locations in Dublin, additional beds have been put into rooms that are already being shared. I am not criticising that decision. One has to provide accommodation for people. How widespread is that to increase the number of beds in particular facilities? Regarding move-on accommodation, on one hand, we...

It already takes the RTB, on average, four months to deal with adjudication in an overholding case.
