Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 7 February 2018
316. Deputy Micheál Martin asked the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government if he will report on his Department's strategy statement and its commitments on delivering key infrastructure, including housing. [6002/18]
Amharc ar fhreagraReporting on implementation of my Department's Statement of Strategy is done, primarily, through Annual Reports. The most recently published such report is for 2016 and is available at: http://www.housing.gov.ie/sites/default/files/publications/files/annual_report_2016_english.pdf.
In accordance with the Public Service Management Act 1997 and following my appointment to the Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government in June 2017, a new Strategy Statement was prepared for the period 2017-2020. This has just been approved by Government, prior to its publication and laying before the Houses of the Oireachtas in the usual way. It will also be published on my Department's website shortly.
The Strategy Statement is closely aligned with the commitments in the Programme for a Partnership Government and with the actions set out in the Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness. Progress updates on the actions under Rebuilding Ireland are published regularly on the Rebuilding Ireland website at: http://rebuildingireland.ie/news-page/.
