Willie says ‘It was great to hear from the Senators that the Government & Minister Mc Garth fully support the Bill. They believe once amendments are drafted & have Cabinet approval, there will be no delays in the remaining stages being brought before the Seanad for approval. Thereafter, while further work will still need to be done, the Senators are optimistic that legislation will eventually be enacted. Our service would like to thank Gerrie O'Grady (CDA) for organising the meeting & for inviting Willie to attend. Our thanks also to Catherine White for her interpreting work. LETTER FROM SENATOR JERRY BUTTIMER- HEAD OF SENATE During the meeting, Senator Jerry Buttimer presented a letter which gave details on the Government’s position on the Irish Sign Language Bill. “I have been advised that Minster McGrath’s officials in the Department of Justice have put their thoughts on various Government amendments to Senator Daly’s Bill on paper and they are with the Department of Social Protection and the Department of Communications for comments/observations.

    Simon Coveney TD Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government Cork South Central News, September 2016 Dear Resident, In May I was appointed as Minister with specific responsibility for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government to focus on the challenge of tackling the housing crisis. Housing is without doubt, one of the biggest challenges facing our country today. We have a significant shortage of housing supply and need to use every feasible means to meet this challenge. It is imperative that every family has a home. We are determined to deal with the dramatic under supply of housing and the effect it has on people and communities. I launched The Action Plan for Housing in July – Rebuilding Ireland. Designed to accelerate housing supply in this country. Rebuilding Ireland is tackling our country’s housing shortage and commits to a major increase in delivery of homes year on year to 2021.
