Housing Provision
Dail Éireann — 2022-11-15
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

Deputy Boyd Barrett raised a similar issue concerning tenants in situ . It seems he is basically saying the local authorities should be automatons and do what they are told across housing. I am not sure that is the right policy and that councillors on the ground would appreciate that approach. There has to be some delegation of authority to local authorities. What we can do is resource them on the housing front, as the Minister has done, to increase their capacity to deliver housing projects in the first instance and to give them the necessary resources to intervene-----
