Prayer. 19/07/2016A00100Leaders’ Questions 19/07/2016A00200Deputy Micheál Martin: The housing crisis has been developing and, indeed, escalating since about 2011� It is interesting that there has been approximately a 400% increase in the number of families sleeping in emergency or temporary accommodation for the homeless since October 2014� That is a rise from 800 families in that situation to 2,177 in 2016� In 2012, we only had an average of eight new families presenting as homeless in Dublin every month, but that rose to 40 families per month in 2014, and has risen to 70 per month in the first half of this year. Clearly, therefore, the situation is getting worse year after year. For far too long the last government denied the existence of a crisis and only belatedly declared it a national emergency� It published many strategies which were lacking in detail, implementation and execution in terms of their impact on building new houses� For example, fewer than 274 new social houses were constructed in 2015, and only 28 of those were directly built by local authorities� The Committee on Housing and Homelessness, chaired by Deputy John Curran, did a lot of good cross-party work in coming up with solutions� The Minister has announced his response today� My key question to the Taoiseach concerns the execution, administrative and statutory capacity to deliver the scale of houses required to meet the challenges� Very few council houses were built by councils in 2015 and 2016 to date, yet we are now looking in the plan at up to 47,000 new social houses� One must question the current capacity of the system to deliver that number� Is it not the case that a separate statutory institution or agency is required with wide-ranging powers to drive home house building and deal with what is, by any yardstick, a national emer- gency? Anybody who listened in this morning to “Morning Ireland” will have heard that we have had children living in hotels in Dublin in recent years, the impact of which on families, mothers, fathers and children was eloquently and graphically articulated� It is a true blight on our society� Notwithstanding all the strategies in the world that we publish, I am concerned about the capacity to execute delivery of this plan. Is the Taoiseach satisfied that the statutory administrative capacity to deliver it exists? 19/07/2016B00200The Taoiseach: As we speak, the Minister with responsibility for housing is attending with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform and others at the formal launch of the Govern- ment’s housing action plan and so the Deputy’s question is very pertinent and appropriate� 220 19 July 2016 We have made no secret that the issue of providing accommodation and proper housing for people, both social and affordable, and dealing with homelessness is a key priority of Gov- ernment� That is why €5�3 billion is being provided, with 47,000 houses to be provided by 2021� Obviously, execution of the plan is an important point� The consultation with the en- tire spectrum of interested parties has been thorough� I commended Deputy John Curran and the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Housing and Homelessness on the report they produced� There is an appendix at the back of the plan dealing with each proposal brought forward by the Oireachtas committee, which is right and proper because these formed part of the detailed conversations and discussions that were held by the committee on this matter� The plan con- tains five pillars. It will be debated in the House this evening and tomorrow, during which time Deputies from all sides and all parties will have an opportunity to comment on it� It is important to note that in recent years, local authorities have not measured up in the building of social housing to the extent needed� The Minister, Deputy Coveney, has looked at this carefully and has provided local authorities with a €200 million fund for access to sites that are currently inaccessible, either by bridge or road and to allow councils to design their own schemes in respect of certain conditions
