The Programme for Government committed to establishing a Commission on Housing to examine issues such as tenure, standards, sustainability, and quality-of-life issues in the provision of housing.
It is planned that the Commission on Housing will be formally established in September this year. The Chair designate for the Commission was announced in May, and work is now advancing on the finalisation of the Terms of Reference. Once the Terms of Reference are finalised, it is intended to hold a process to invite expressions of interest to identify persons who have an interest in serving on the Commission and I will then appoint Commission Members in due course.
