A finalised Programme for Government could be published as early as tomorrow.

Plans for the first 100 days in office could be released before the end of the month.

Focus Ireland has set out a range of measures through which the newly formed Government can tackle the spiralling housing and homelessness crisis.

The charity claims that nearly 300 families with 600 children became homeless in the first three months of this year alone in Dublin.

The newly appointed Minister for Communications, Roscommon-Galway TD Denis Naughten, said that rural Ireland is his top priority.

Speaking to Galway Bay FM, Minister Naughten said that climate change will be a huge challenge.

“The other side of this brief is going to be in relation to the issue of climate change, and we’ve seen last winter the impact that that is having on our environment, is having in relation to severe flooding,” he said.

“So I think there is a huge challenge in relation to it.

“It’s going to be a very difficult Government, It’s going to be a very challenging Government, it’s going to have to work very closely with the Dáil.”
