To ask the Chief Executive to provide details of any meetings or correspondence that he has had with the Minister for Housing Planning & Local Government in regards to housing issues since February 2016 including the dates and a brief outline of the topics discussed including any discussions relating to Joint Venture Projects in the County.

REPLY:

The Chief Executive and senior officials from the Council meet and correspond with both the Minister for Housing, Planning & Local Government, the Minister of State and their officials on a regular and ongoing basis to discuss all aspects of the Minister's remit including:

• Housing Supply programme including in relation to the Land Infrastructure Housing Activation Fund and the Serviced Sites Fund;
• Responses to Homelessness;
• Housing Policy;
• Planning Matters and Policy;
• Corporate and Human Resource function matters;

As a matter of course these interactions have consistently covered progress, updates and matters arising in relation to the Joint Venture project at Kilcarbery as well as proposals for master-planning of the additional sites within the Council's ownership as outlined at the recent Special Meeting of the County Council in relation to Housing.
