Dail Éireann — 2021-01-28
============================================================

Catherine Connolly (IND), Galway West

A housing task force was established because of the situation in Galway. I am very familiar with the situation, having spent a number of years of my life on the local authority. No house was built from 2009 because of what happened in the country. That is part of the problem. An emergency task force was finally established in recognition of the emergency in Galway, where people are waiting for 15 years and at least one person is waiting for 20 years. Has the Minister ever received a completed, final report from that emergency task force setting out an analysis of the problems and recommendations? The Minister can answer "Yes" or "No".
