Richard Boyd Barrett: .... In 2021, we will move away from an over-reliance on HAP - I accept there is an over-reliance - to having people accommodated in the stock of social housing. That is right and it is part of our Rebuilding Ireland plan. The Government opposes the Bill. We support a number of measures in it and are progressing them. Other measures go too far and the Taoiseach was right to say that they...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (13 Nov 2018)

Richard Boyd Barrett: The failure of the Government to deliver social and council housing for people on housing lists or in homelessness hubs is well known.

Yesterday,...
