Housing Provision
Dail Éireann — 2024-10-22
============================================================

Bernard Durkan (FG), Kildare North

I had in mind the utilisation of modern construction methods to speed up, in the first case, the provision of houses, and the provision of housing for people who may find themselves, through no fault of their own, without a home and have no option except to consider making themselves homeless by leaving the house they are in, in which case they will not be considered by the local authorities, at the same time relying on previous methods and experiences of the private sites schemes to put affordable houses and local authority houses on those sites within the reach of people who are in that income category. We all did this over the years in our various local authorities but it either has not been used in recent times or used with great difficulty in any case it has been used. It is a question of reintroducing the incentives that were there and ensuring they work at this given time.
