Vote 23 - Property Registration Authority (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Eoghan Murphy: Deputy Casey and I do not disagree very much on this issue on which we take a similar approach. However, Rebuilding Ireland has a target of adding 50,000 houses to the social housing stock, with a further 88,000 people on the housing list to be accommodated through the housing assistance payment. In the years leading up to 2021, people will present with a housing need the State must meet....

Vote 23 - Property Registration Authority (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Eoghan Murphy: On people who exit emergency accommodation and subsequently re-present, we collect a large amount of data across the 31 local authorities. It takes considerable time and effort to drill into the data, to present them again and check them before publication I want to do more with the information available to us. As I signalled on the previous occasion I released figures on the number of...

Vote 23 - Property Registration Authority (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Eoghan Murphy: It is a short-term measure in some respects but it is not necessarily a bad measure. Many people like the options that HAP gives them. They prefer to remain in the private rental sector, are happy to have the State support to be able to do that and their housing needs are being met. When one looks at the funding that is being provided this year, we have effectively doubled the budget for...

Vote 23 - Property Registration Authority (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Eoghan Murphy: To clarify, the construction status report from quarter three of 2017 mentioned that more than 3,000 homes were on-site at the time, with a further 1,000 plus units coming on-site in the coming weeks. The quarter four construction report is imminent; we will have it very soon. It points to the fact that there was a significant stream of delivery actually coming on-site for local authority...

Vote 23 - Property Registration Authority (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Eoghan Murphy: I thank the Deputy for his questions. An important policy change on acquisitions was announced at the first housing summit in September. I did not believe that local authorities should compete in high-demand areas with young couples and people trying to buy homes because it was pushing up the prices of houses and was not contributing to our stock of social housing. As a result we made a...

The tests set out to see whether the project could be delivered more cheaply through traditional means. All these benchmarks and value for money measures will be made public after the contracts...

Vote 23 - Property Registration Authority (Revised) (27 Mar 2018) Eoghan Murphy: Of course. Whenever a value for money review of a project is done, it must be judged against what we have been doing traditionally to ensure the stream is delivering something with as much value for money, or something the same ball park, as traditional schemes. Otherwise, why introduce a scheme? That is what they will do.

When we talk about 2:1s, we are talking about former bedsits being brought back as single-unit accommodation. Essentially, there are three different streams under the voids programme. We are not talking about what the Deputy has described as "expensive re-lets". In some...
