This article is interesting, but it is a bit vague on details and specifics. Which housing bodies are you referring to - sonas, cluid, the iveagh trust? Which local authorities are you talking about? Can you give us the names of some of the people you have been in touch with regard to the DOE policies, and non responses?
Thanks for your interest. Sorry I cannot give the details you request in public at the moment anyway.
The fact that according to the DOE "There is no specific complaints system in place for Voluntary Housing Bodies and there are no regulations on consultation processes" is the central issue.
If you cant give the details here in public, why did you bother posting an article on indymedia? For all intensive purposes, your entire article could be manufactured. There are no examples or figures of specific agencies or councils doing what you say. It is all vague and shadowy. Any bite that your article might have had is not there.
Pity.
Name /details are not given for legal reasons There are libel laws and editorial guidelines to be considered posting here at least for people who give their names. Anyone who thinks the article is manufactured is free to do their own research
I would like this say this artice is copyright and ask that this is respected even though I did not make it clear at beginning. Thanks
