Housing Provision
Seanad Éireann — 2024-10-01
============================================================

Jennifer Carroll MacNeill (FG), Dún Laoghaire

I will certainly ask the relevant Department to do that, but it is by no means the first time I have come across such a case. For example, proposed housing for veterans of the Defence Forces in Limerick and Cork is subject to similar transfer and process delays, which I find intolerable. These things are incredibly urgent and important and while this process has been going on for 30 years, it is not acceptable. As public representatives, we see the mould on the walls and the gaps in delivery and it is frustrating to have a society and economy with so much funding available and to see inexplicable delays. When things are in train and moving, that is fine, but to see things sitting on desks and not being resolved with the same urgency that we feel when we see mould on the walls is intolerable to me as a public representative. I understand the Senator's frustration.
