Picket outside Housing Agency HQ to protest Conor Skehan re-appointment

A picket will take place outside the Housing Agency's HQ later in a protest at the re-appointment of chairperson Conor Skehan.

Mr Skehan has been under pressure since an interview with the Irish Times, during which he stated: "We (ie the Government) unwittingly created a problem by prioritising self-declared homelessness above all other types of housing need, which created a distortion in the waiting list system and may have encouraged people to game the system."
