396. Deputy Thomas P. Broughan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government if his attention has been drawn to a recently published report (details supplied) on the future of social housing; his views on the model of social housing provision proposed in the report; and if the recommendations contained therein may be included in the Government’s social housing strategy due to be published in quarter 3 of 2014. [27276/14]
View answerI am aware of, and I very much welcome, the report as a timely input into the development of a Social Housing Strategy. The recommendations contained in the report will be taken into consideration in the context of the development of the Strategy. Submissions in relation to the strategy have been publicly sought and may be made up until the end of July through the Housing Agency. Fuller details are available on the Agency's website, (www.housing.ie). It is expected that the Strategy, which was announced in Construction 2020, will be published following consideration by Government in Quarter 3 of this year.
