Ceisteanna - Questions - Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Homeless Persons Supports (14 Nov 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: As the Minister knows, the media widely reported two deaths this month of individuals who were accessing homelessness services and had a history of sleeping rough. We do not know the full details of the deaths and it would be wrong for any of us in the House to try to politicise it. Is this a matter of concern? Does the Minister feel there might be gaps in our emergency response to rough...

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister for his response. As he knows, it is four years since the tragic death of Mr. Jonathan Corry, a young rough sleeper, on the streets just outside this building. What became clear from that case is that even when beds are available in the emergency accommodation system on a given night, and even when local authority or voluntary sector staff engage with rough sleepers,...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Financing of Social Housing: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: My questions follow on from Deputy Boyd Barrett's. I thank the delegations for their presentations and acknowledge the very useful work the Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland does in its cost of construction reports which are very valuable. While we have the Department's reports, it says something that it was the SCSI that produced the reports on houses and apartments well before...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Financing of Social Housing: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: I apologise but I have to be in the Chamber at 10.30 a.m., so if there is not time to get all of the answers I will read them in the Official Report. Ms Bryce said there might be some efficiencies by the time we get to bundle 3. Does she have any idea what those efficiencies are? I presume by efficiencies she means a reduction in timeline. I do not think it is fair to say that there...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Financing of Social Housing: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: My question was whether, on the basis of the SCSI's research and the two subsequent reports, a private sector-led development can produce quality homes or apartments for people on gross incomes of €75,000 or less. It would seem from the evidence of the four reports - two from the SCSI and two other reports - that the answer is "No". Am I wrong in that?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Financing of Social Housing: Discussion (14 Nov 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the witnesses for their presentations. It is almost as though we have three tiers in terms of funding for social housing delivery. There are various funding mechanisms for private sector-led developments such as PPPs or enhanced leasing whereby the developer gets full cost recovery plus additional premium and risk. They get the highest level of payment for what they do. Approved...
