Neasa Hourigan: I know from our work on the health committee with the Minister of State, Deputy Burke, that he is well aware of the urgent crisis we have with drug deaths in this country. We have very high levels of injury due to the use of illicit drugs. One of the tools in combating risk of death and injury is to use drugs such as naloxone to stabilise someone during a usage crisis or an overdose....

Colm Burke: I thank the Deputy and welcome the opportunity to inform the House on the current position relating to naloxone. A strategic priority in the national drugs strategy is to develop integrated care pathways and harm reduction responses for high-risk drug users, including people who are homeless, offenders, stimulant users, and injecting drug-users, in order to achieve better health outcomes and...

Neasa Hourigan: I thank the Minister of State for some of those facts and figures. I recognise that there has been a move by the Department to increase the access to naloxone. I would like to give the Minister of State an example of what it is like for service workers on the ground at the moment and how bizarre the current situation actually is. We have made naloxone available to workers. If I work in...
- Ceisteanna Eile (Atógail) - Other Questions (Resumed): Housing Policy (22 Oct 2024)
Catherine Connolly: Rebuilding Ireland has not worked. Housing For All has not worked. They are part of the problem. I spent 17 years at local authority level. We stopped building houses in 2009. It is on the record. Construction was suspended. We introduced HAP on a pilot basis and put it on a statutory footing in 2004. People were housed if they got a HAP property. Now there are no houses available at...

Bernard Durkan: There is a problem to which the Deputy has referred. There is need for contact with the local authorities to try to ensure every opportunity is taken to prevent homelessness and not to impede the HAP system on top of everything else. People will become homeless very quickly when the tenancy has expired.
- Ceisteanna Eile (Atógail) - Other Questions (Resumed): Housing Policy (22 Oct 2024)
Malcolm Noonan: The intention and work of the Government is to end the dependency on HAP. A total of 16,000 families have transferred from HAP to permanent accommodation solutions. That is to be noted. The Government has built more social houses in the past four and a half years than in the past 50 years. I was a member of a local authority for 16 years. I remember distinctly during that time when a...
