Housing Policy
Dail Éireann — 2022-09-28
============================================================

Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny

We are hearing the Deputies loud and clear. All of the Deputies made their points very well. Some Deputies were not here earlier when the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, was responding to Deputy Naughten. We will do our level best to have that report ready before the year's end. The Minister has stated he is not happy and that he wants to resolve this. He is of the view that the Housing Agency is best placed to deliver this report. He has given a commitment that changes will be brought to Cabinet to resolve this once and for all. We can hear from all of the Deputies that the challenges facing families and households with regard to income eligibility is an issue throughout the State.
It is also important to look at the issue of those transitional measures for those families who are slightly over the threshold. We will try to bring in some mechanism to support them as well. I give the commitment that the Minister, Deputy O'Brien, is determined to resolve this and to have this report before the year's end.
