Amharc ar fhreagraThe Galway Social Housing Task Force had its first 2024 meeting on 9 April. My Department participates on the Taskforce and over and above that, is in ongoing contact with both Galway local authorities in respect of housing matters.
In between the final 2023 meeting in November last, and the meeting earlier this week, the previous Taskforce Chair, Ms Geraldine Tallon, stepped down from the role and has been replaced by Mr John McCarthy former Secretary General of my Department.
It is planned to have three more Galway Social Housing Task force meetings in 2024. I look forward to their continued work and also to the inputs from the two new local authority Chief Executives.
