In accordance with S.I. 264 of 2012 (Housing and Sustainable Communities Agency Establishment Order 2012), the Minister for Housing, Planning and Local Government, Eoghan Murphy T.D, has appointed a new member to the Board of the Housing Agency.
The Housing Agency is governed by a Board appointed by the Minister. It is responsible for ensuring that the Agency carry out all functions effectively and comply with statutory requirements.

A brief résumé of the new member is set out below. Dr. Duffy is being appointed for the period 01 July 2019 to 30 June 2024. This will bring the Board membership to 9 persons.
