Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: I suggest that Ms Costello should bring back to the Department what is happening here. I refer to the discussion and specifically to the points Deputy Hourigan is making regarding our concern about such a large virement of €340 million being unvoted. The lack of democratic accountability is significant.

The problem is that neither the Dáil nor the committee was involved. There is an issue here. I ask you to convey that back to the Department. We will not hold you, as principal officer,...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: A discussion on approved housing bodies, AHBs, arose last week out of an issue I brought up last week. I have discussed it with Mr. Doyle in the past. I know we are trying to deal with a legacy situation. Nobody in this room has been responsible for the creating the situation. When these small AHBs reach the end of life, what happens to the property? What happens to the tenant? What...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: That is okay, Mr. Doyle. I do not wish to rush you, but the problem is that a situation has arisen whereby a private management company is already in. The private management company is now dealing directly with these tenants and handing them the forms to go and claim the rent supplement. That company's officials are the people who are now setting the rent. They are now the people in...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: Okay. The allocations do not come through the local authority. They have not even come within the term of the loan. While the loan was maturing and before it was discharged, it was not the usual situation where the allocations came through the local authorities. The assessment of social housing need has to be done by the local authority. We cannot have a situation where people make it up...

Chapter 7: The Housing Agency’s Revolving Acquisition Fund (26 Jan 2023) Brian Stanley: Mr. Doyle advises the Minister. He needs to advise him of this issue. In fairness to the Minister, he is dealing with a lot. I criticise him often but he has a lot on his plate. He may not be aware of the snowball effect of this. It is the case with a number of these AHBs that the loan has been or will be discharged fairly soon. We are facing a really large problem.
