Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Homeless Figures: Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government (20 Jun 2018)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Homeless Figures: Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government (20 Jun 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: Before I move on to the two reports, I have to say the Minister's response is deeply unsatisfactory. We are confused because he will not give us the information he has available. One of my concerns about the reports is that we all know that the reluctance to engage with the HAP scheme is an issue. There is nothing new in the reports and there are no data to substantiate them. I am very...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Homeless Figures: Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government (20 Jun 2018)

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Minister for the detail of his replies. Picking up on a few bits and pieces, I am not sure whether the CSO is the right agency to compile future housing reports. I have not made up my mind on the matter. If the Minister is of a mind to consider it and debating it with his officials, he should consider including in the figures, in a way that they can be separated out in order...
