Dail Éireann — 2023-12-06
============================================================

Ruairí Ó Murchú (SF), Louth

We are well aware, in relation to housing, that delivery is what we need to see and we need to make sure that we ramp up the modern methods of construction. I also want to deal with schemes such as Housing First, which is an attempt to deal with those who are vulnerable and may be in a chaotic scenario. The problem with Housing First is at times greater supports are required and it suits individuals. We need to look at that being reviewed and upgraded. We also need to have something that is more applicable to families and we need to look at the means of providing for some of the issues that can be created by those with added difficulties as regards estate management. We need a holistic approach and all those supports that are required. Some will involve the Garda but in some cases, we need mental health services, the HSE and others. Unfortunately, that is a part that is missing and sometimes it impacts greatly on many communities out there.
