Text

I thank the Minister for that answer. Like many Members, my office is inundated with people who require houses. Indeed, every night, on my journey home, I pass six ex-council houses, two or three of which are now privately owned and three of which have been vacant for more than two years. People come into my office about that daily. I think of one family in particular: a husband, wife and child who live in a crowded bedroom and have been on the waiting list for some time. What is your Department doing to press the Housing Executive to get those houses back into circulation?
