Island Communities
Dail Éireann — 2023-04-25
============================================================

Holly Cairns (SD), Cork South-West

Our offshore islands are not exempt from the housing crisis. In fact, the pressures on housing are distinctly felt by island communities, considering the additional barriers they face. Access to services, the transport of material and even construction workers and tradespeople travelling are all additional obstacles faced by the islands. What has the Minister's engagement been with the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage on these issues? What are her plans to help to develop housing for island communities?
