219. Deputy Bernard J. Durkan asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government the extent to which he has sought or received information from each local authority regarding the availability of serviced or serviceable sites on zoned or zoneable lands adjacent to towns and villages, with a view to addressing the serious and ever-growing housing shortage, with particular reference to the provision of a substantial number of modular houses within the shortest possible time, thereby alleviating the distress and hardship caused to those families who find themselves without a home in current circumstances, given that no serious provision was made to address this issue for at least 15 years, thereby creating an almost total dependency on voluntary housing agencies and the private rental sector; if he will consider emergency legislation given the emerging situation affecting thousands of families and given that approximately 100,000 families were already registered on local authority housing lists some six years ago; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
