Housing Provision
Dail Éireann — 2026-03-05
============================================================

Louise O'Reilly (SF), Dublin Fingal West

I fully agree with the Minister. The officials I deal with in Fingal County Council lack neither understanding nor capacity but they do lack basic direction from the Government. As the Minister has said, basic and all as this is, it will take at least until this year to get that done, although it is welcome. As I have said, it is an issue I have raised many times. The Minister will be aware of it. It is not going to affect a huge number of people but it will have a serious impact for some people. I trust it is in order to send my own local authority a transcript of this debate to show that this is coming because I do not want this woman to lose out for the sake of a couple of weeks. I hope the council will be able to fully adhere to the protocol when it is issued.
