A all-party Dáil Committee on Housing and Homelessness has been established.

The committee was set up following a proposal initiated by Sinn Féin.

Leader of the party, Gerry Adams, welcomed the approval and confirmed the Committee will produce a report on solutions to the unprecedented housing crisis in Ireland.
