Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government

Officials from my Department met with a number of individuals on 18 June in relation to housing and homelessness issues. During this meeting it was suggested that the group’s various points of concern be set out in a document and submitted to my Department for consideration. This has not been received to date but, upon receipt, I will give consideration to the document and to the request for a meeting.
