Housing Policy
Dail Éireann — 2020-10-06
============================================================

Joan Collins (I4C), Dublin South-Central

According to housing statistics from Dublin City Council, the council housed 517 households last year, most of whom had been waiting for a home since the mid-2000s, according to the documents. That is nearly 15 years. The average waiting time was more than 12 years and one of the households had been on the list since 1996. We are in a housing crisis in the middle of a pandemic. Will the Minister of State, Deputy Peter Burke, give a commitment to build public housing on public land?
