Paddy Burke (Fine Gael)

Earlier, Senator Bacik alluded to good management of local authority housing estates. I have never heard of local authorities going out to their estates and discussing with the communities how best they can run their estates. Senator Bacik made a very good point that this is where we should begin and that there should be an obligation on the local authority from within to meet the residents of the local authority estates to hear what the community wants done. It would be a good start.
