- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (17 May 2018)
Eoghan Murphy: I do not have that information. What I can tell the Deputy is that from memory, the people removed from Dublin and Louth were in private rental accommodation while the people from the other three local authorities were in local authority-owned or leased accommodation.

Eoghan Murphy: Tallaght Cross has not yet been addressed by the local authority - the Dublin Region Homeless Executive. That is something we still have to look at in terms of categorisation. What we are looking at here is people who are not in emergency accommodation.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (17 May 2018)
Eoghan Murphy: We have not yet looked at Tallaght Cross so I cannot tell the Deputy about a difference but what I can tell him is that-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (17 May 2018)
Eoghan Murphy: What I can tell the Deputy is that we have not yet looked at Tallaght Cross. What I can tell him is that when we talk about people - because the Deputy is talking about people with or without tenancies - we have people in private rental accommodation paying rent who were at risk of losing that accommodation, who got support from the local authority and who were then counted as being in...

Eoghan Murphy: The homeless report gives the number of people who are in emergency accommodation. That is what it does. Regarding the definition of homelessness, it is for each local authority to decide if a person who comes to it is homeless or not and it does that based on the guidelines that are there but we are quite clear on what emergency accommodation is.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (17 May 2018)
Eoghan Murphy: In the first instance, we are talking about people in hotels and B&Bs. We are talking about people in hostels either for one night or even in a temporary situation for six months. That is emergency accommodation. It is very different from local authority-owned stock and private rental sector stock.

Eoghan Murphy: These are all re-categorisations. This is the problem.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (17 May 2018)
Eoghan Murphy: I am not ignoring anyone, and the charges that the Deputy levels against me are very serious. He accepts the miscategorisation. He has accepted that this has happened. I am the person responsible for getting to the bottom of this. Deputy Ó Broin does not have the complete information, and that is the dangerous thing about what he is doing. There are formal reporting structures...

Eoghan Murphy: It takes time to collate the information correctly. I want the correct information. The Deputy's approach has been to create greater confusion around what has happened here by going out and sourcing piecemeal bits of information. The Deputy mentioned two local authorities that were not involved in the recategorisation process.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion (17 May 2018)
Eoghan Murphy: They were not. This is the thing; there is a formal reporting structure to me. I can get a full and detailed report with all the information that we need to get a proper understanding of what has happened here, and then decide on the best way to move forward, based on recommendations. That is what we are trying to do. It is very important for the integrity of all involved, the integrity...

Eoghan Murphy: Under Rebuilding Ireland, which is a €6 billion programme over five years, we will meet the housing needs of 130,000 people, which is quite something, although only 50,000 will go into social housing stock However, as we move beyond Rebuilding Ireland into Project Ireland 2040, and the first ten-year horizon in the national development plan to 2027, we will bring an average of 12,000...
