Housing Provision

Chris Andrews (SF), Labour Panel

I thank the Minister of State, but his response is disappointing. It is clear to many residents in the south inner city that the Government does note care about them or their families. There seems to be no direction. The only direction is a general descent into dereliction. Looking at the list the Minister of State read out, none of the flats in the south-east inner city are benefiting from funding or regeneration projects. Families in the south-east inner city have been abandoned. They have put up with completely unacceptable conditions, including mould, dampness and antisocial behaviour. It is unacceptable that in 2025, I have seen no evidence to suggest the Government has any plan to do anything to improve the lives of those living in the south-east inner city. There is no suggestion or evidence that the Government cares about families or communities in the south inner city.
