Uncertainty surrounds the potential appointment of Brendan McDonagh as the head of the Housing Activation Office, with Fianna Fáil clarifying that no decision has been finalized despite Housing Minister James Browne's earlier indication. The Government's Cabinet sub-committee is set to discuss this matter, and Taoiseach Micheál Martin confirmed that discussions are ongoing. Additionally, concerns have been raised by the opposition over the proposed salary of €430,000 for this role, with Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald arguing it is excessive, particularly in the context of struggling households.
Mary Lou McDonald criticized the proposed salary for the new Housing Minister, highlighting that most people in job-sharing take home half a wage, indicating it is unjustifiable in the current economic climate.
