Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Catherine Murphy: They can be very different. It is the enhanced leasing figure I am looking for. I had a number last week that I was wrong about in respect of County Kildare. The number is 681 and I just wanted to correct that. When I first raised the enhanced leasing scheme in the Dáil in 2021, the then Taoiseach, Mícheál Martin, told me that no local authority should be on both sides of...

I am not going to sit down and ring 30 local authorities and ask them individually. The Department needs to be able to give us those figures. On new builds, I have raised the importance of language with departmental officials on several occasions when they have been before the committee. Language is...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Catherine Murphy: I want to move on to another issue, which was raised last week relating to approved housing bodies. We were told that the situation is being looked at. There are three tiers to AHBs. Bigger ones tend to be professionally managed while the smaller ones are often managed by volunteers. Typically, the local authority provides the land, the State provides the capital to build and a...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Catherine Murphy: There is a real concern here. Another issue raised at last week's meeting, and not for the first time, is that when a local authority builds a house the money is provided by the Department. They build the house. There is differential rent. People pay rent and if the person moves out, somebody else tenants that house. It is up to the local authority to maintain it. With an approved...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Catherine Murphy: I do not want it to be only the Chair and Deputy Hourigan making this point. Language is important. The phrase "local authorities" has been used. Most of the public hear that in an entirely different way. They hear it as meaning the people they elected to represent them. This is not who we are talking about here. Really it underpins, if anything, that we do not have a local government...

How does it select those if it is seeking that value for money? I remember saying in 2014, when HAP was introduced, that it would become unsustainable if there was not a large-scale housing building programme. We are hearing about PPPs that have been...
