- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Policy (11 Apr 2024)
Ivana Bacik: 2. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, and Local Government his views on the adequacy of Housing for All building targets; when revised targets will be published; his plans to speed up delivery of housing in line with established need; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [15950/24]
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Policy (11 Apr 2024)
Ivana Bacik: Will the Minister for housing make a statement on the adequacy of Housing for All building targets, when revised targets will be published and his plans to speed up delivery of housing in line with established need? The question relates again to targets, but this time to the need for greater ambition and urgency on targets for delivery of homes.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Policy (11 Apr 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: Housing for All commits to delivering an average of 33,000 homes annually, rising to more than 40,000 by 2030. These targets are based on independent, peer-reviewed research and modelling by the ESRI. They are the only housing targets underpinned by such a robust evidence base. That said, it was always intended to review these targets, particularly in light of census 2022. The review has...

Ivana Bacik: Before I respond, I congratulate the Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, on his appointment. I note that this is, I think, the third Minister of State with responsibility for planning in the lifetime of this Government. It is perhaps not such a positive sign with such a big planning Bill going through Committee Stage currently to see this changeover, but I wish the Minister of State well...

Catherine Connolly: We are over time. The Minister of State to respond, please.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Policy (11 Apr 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: I join the Deputy in welcoming, Deputy Dillon, our new colleague as Minister of State. The planning Bill is progressing well. The Minister of State, Deputy Dillon, will join us in progressing that important legislation through the Dáil. The targets for 2024 will be met. By all accounts, they will be exceeded. Commencements are at a record high. If you look at the trajectory of...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Policy (11 Apr 2024)
Ivana Bacik: People are crying out for speeded-up delivery of new homes. Every time any of us go out and meet people at any point, that is all we hear. It is across communities and multi-generational. It is the civil rights issue of our times. The Government is not going to publish revised targets until the autumn, when the incoming Taoiseach announced at the Ard-Fheis on Saturday that 250,000 homes...
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Housing Policy (11 Apr 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: The Deputy will appreciate that we have to use an evidence-based approach, including looking at population growth, net inward migration, assumptions regarding housing obsolescence rates and household sizes, as informed by census data. Housing output went from 20,000 in 2021 to 34,000 this year. The Deputy will have to agree that is a significant trajectory upwards. That trajectory will...

Catherine Connolly: The next question is from Deputy Ó Broin. Tríd an Chathaoir; through the Chair, please.
- Ceisteanna ar Sonraíodh Uain Dóibh - Priority Questions: Homeless Accommodation (11 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: It is now a year since the Government took the disastrous decision to end the ban on no-fault evictions. At the time, we told the Government that if it did that without the appropriate supports and prevention measures being in place, homelessness would rise month on month, as it has done. There has been a 13% increase in homelessness among people and a shocking 16% increase in homelessness...

Darragh O'Brien: It remains the single most important challenge we face, no less so for those families and individuals who find themselves in emergency accommodation. Supporting those individuals and families is a priority. Critical to that support is enabling households to exit homelessness and increasing housing supply. Almost 12,000 new social homes were delivered last year, a massive increase in...
